      Fleegle B A really great movie, I don't know why it has such a low score it's a great and fun movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review Ash P I remember when I was eleven when this aired on the ABC Channel and enjoyed it all the way. Being thirty-three right now as time goes by, this is still a fun little gem that I remembered. Sure, the story is a little messy and the writing is not perfect. However, the cast really had put an effort into their roles, the laughs were a hoot when it comes to entertaining for both kids and adults. Not a perfect movie especially it was one of those rare direct-to-TV movies, but still a hell of a fun movie for anyone who is into the Halloween Spirt, whoever wants a good laugh, or at the least have quality time with family of all ages. Happy Halloween, yall. 7/10. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Molly H A classic Halloween movie that you won't tire of watching every year . Christopher is amazing. Wouldn't be the same without them . The rest of the other cast does a really good job. I say ,give it a chance :) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review phillip b i watched that movie way back before all kids lost there fear. this movie is very good, it got me seared as a kid and it had fun scenes. wholesome and great scenes. if there happed to be a recreation, or a reboot without being terrible like any reboots today, I'd recommend this movie first before deciding a reboot. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/23 Full Review Daniel W It is a great kids Halloween movie. Christopher Lloyd did a phenomenal job. Without him the movie would of been a loss. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/23 Full Review chris b What a great movie. Not sophisticated not meant to be critiqued just made to enjoy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
