Brody H @BrodyWasHere Dec 29 Fun family film. A little problem with pacing and logic, but worth a watch See more 10/14/2024 I’ve loved this movie ever since it came out on Cartoon Network in 2007. It really does feel like Goosebumps in the 2000’s. Emily Osment and the whole cast do a really good job. I’ll always watch this movie during the Halloween season See more 11/01/2022 As a Child: 7/10. 77/100 Now: 6/10. 64/100 See more 06/13/2021 Decent watch, probably won't watch again, but can recommend, especially for a younger audience. Sometimes it is fun to see what they're offering to the kids, and you run into something familiar like R.L. Stine, and you even hop into the way back machine to see some surprises: like Emily Osment (Gabi, "Young and Hungry"), Brittany Curran (Fen, The Magicians), and Tobin Bell (Jigsaw, SAW). The story itself is solid, if juvenile (it IS designed for a younger audience), and the actor is a little over the top, but I think it is a combination of good writing of silly characters for kids and quality actors. Not only does the cast do a great job of the teen drama and typical family infighting between siblings, but the real shining moment of the movie is the "Evil Thing". It is amazing what they can do with some simple practical effects and good camera work. If you're looking for a "scary" movie to sit down with the kids, this is a good choice. See more 10/24/2020 Aside from Emily Osment's youthfully nostalgic charisma in her gothic presence, the conception for the beloved book series' cinematic revitalization originated in this very tamed, old-fashioned horror similarly targeted as the televised adaptations to the reading audience with stock cliches and well-deserved justifications for terrors over missed scares until the final outcome solidified the overall satisfaction. (B-) See more 05/20/2020 A decent horror flick for kids. This was a movie that sure terrified me growing up. This will definitely scare kids if they need a good scare See more Read all reviews
