However, if you are intrigued by the 3-D idea then forget this one. Not one second was actually shot in stereoscopic 3-D at all. What the makers have TRIED to do is exploit something called The Pulfrich Illusion. This technique can give the impression of depth in a flat movie if the camera and background move in different directions. This has been tried, usually without success, in Super Bowl half times, music videos, cartoons, even sitcoms. They did not understand how to do do it and even with the glasses on there is very little if any depth to be seen, and certainly not anything which should be advertised as being "in 3-D". Shoot out the passanger window of a car moving at 25 MPH and then watch the video with the glasses and you will see more of the pulfrich effect than you will in 13 EROTIC GHOSTS.

Tragedy strikes at an old girls school, which leaves the place haunted. Fast forward to the present day, when a film crew wants to document the ghosts. So the rest of the movie is just them observing lesbian ghost romps, except for the female member of the crew (Mia Zottoli) who also participates in the action. Overall, it was good, but there was a lot of room for improvement.
There are six sex scenes. Three are girl/girl: Mia and Nicole Specht, Felony and Aria Giovanni, and Felony and Nicole. These are all very good except for some audio problems that I'll comment on later.
Two are girl/girl/girl: Julie Strain and The Porcelain Twinz (Zen and Zero) are in both of these. Unfortunately, these scenes are the weakest in the movie. They are played mostly for comedy and don't really generate much heat.
The final scene is the best and really ends the movie on a high note. Nicole and Felony go at it again, with Mia watching. Quite a few times, Nicole and Felony step over the line into hardcore territory with no hesitation. Then Aria joins in on the action. When her needs are met, Mia decides to jump in too.
All the women are beautiful and hot, I just wish that Julie and the Twinz had been used more effectively. Other than that, the only problem is the audio. During many of the sex scenes, the overdubbing is very poor. The sounds of the actresses don't match up well at all with the action.
The 3D gimmick was a complete waste. With the glasses on, I couldn't see anything that even remotely looked 3D. Fortunately, it doesn't affect the video, and if you watch it without the glasses, it looks fine.
Retromedia has released better videos. However, if you're familiar with their stuff, and you really like lesbian action, I recommend this one.
6 of 7 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Sexy Ghosts in 3-D Glory, December 24, 2002 This review is from: 13 Erotic Ghosts (DVD) The basic plot for this soft-core flick consists of a film crew going to a haunted house, formerly a school for 'wayward girls' and discovering that it is inhabited by a population of naked lesbian ghosts. In the making of doco, which comes on the DVD as an extra, star Julie Strain is seen to comment that there was no script and that it was up to the actors to adlib their parts and "make it better than if someone wrote some supid lines". Not that an elaborate script would have done anything but get in the way of the endless soft core action.
What sets this film apart from the tonnes of other soft core girl on girl romps out there is the 3d aspect of the DVD. I definitley feel that 3d is something which could be used a lot more in film as it really adds to the home viewing experience and what better way to utilize this technology, roller coasters? I found that while the effect of the 3d glasses, which you put on as the characters in film put them on (the idea used in big budget '13 ghosts' hence the title) overall add depth and a greater definition to the female forms you really notice the improved visuals more on the forground objects than on the girls as candle holders and statues close to the camera seem to really come out. Most of the time appears as though you are in looking into the room from just behind these forground objects. It's not that the 3d effects are totally lost on the female ghost as they are always more fleshed out than a mere flat image and at times really come out at you too, but once again the effect just seems to work in a more dramatic way on the objects closest to the camera.
Besides the great 3d feature of this flick, it also stars the always lively B-movie Queen Julie Strain as well as a host of other very fine ladies, I was particularly taken by future stars the Porcelaine Twinz.
Overall this is a really fun and enjoyable DVD, anyone into Seduction Cinema type films or Julie Strain would definetly get a kick out of this.
