**_Fun family quasi-horror_** A teenager (Dylan Minnette) moves to small town Madison, Delaware, where he hooks up with a cute neighbor (Odeya Rush), the daughter of grouchy author (Jack Black). Adventure and horror ensue when monsters are unwittingly loosed on the town. I've never read any of RL Stine's popular books or viewed any of the corresponding videos, but I've always wanted to because they looked like fun, youth-oriented quasi-horror adventures, like Scooby Doo without the dog. Interestingly, the movie doesn't adapt one of Stine's stories, but rather has a plot that utilizes myriad of his (non) scary creations, like the abominable snowman, a creepy puppet, an ee-vil clown, a giant praying mantis, a werewolf, and so on. The plot is reminiscent of 1995's "Jumanji," but with the fun-horror trappings of 2006' "Monster Night" or "Scooby Doo" (but, again, without the dog). The main cast is a highlight with everyone shining in their roles, particularly winsome Odeya Rush, not to mention Halston sage in a small role. I like the revelation about one of the protagonists in the final act and the warmth that develops between the main characters. This is a good movie to unleash your inner-teenager and have a (non) spooky amusing time. While it's superior to "Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed," mainly because it's not as silly, it has the same core problem: The creators overstuffed the proceedings to the point of overkill. Instead of one or two monsters, there are like ten. So, while the set-up of the first act is great, the flick becomes too manic for its own good. Less is more. It runs 1 hour, 43 minutes, and was shot in towns east and north of Atlanta, Georgia (Conyers, Gainesville, Madison and Marietta). GRADE: B-

I use to be into goosebumps as a kid. Love the show too. I have to admit this was an awesome movie.

I loved the _Goosebumps_ books (and less so, but still, the TV show) when I was growing up. I think if a kid watches this weird interpretation now, at the age that I was then, they might enjoy it. But for me? It didn't work. I actually did appreciate more than I thought I would, but based on the trailers my expectations were **abysmally** low, so that's not exactly saying much. _Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

She's locked in this house and her dad's a psychopath. I have to say that being British born and bred I'm not at all familiar with Goosebumps, either the books or TV series etc, so I was going into this film blind as it were. With that in mind I'm not really able to review to fans of the original works. I went in with the hope of a good time, I liked the sound of the concept, I like Jack Black and I knew it was going to be well produced and no doubt heavily laden with the latest technological effects (ironically I had watched the splendid Jason and the Argonauts prior to Goosebumps, from one extreme to another or what?!). I got everything I expected and had fun without any frame of reference. If I wanted any more I could dig out some questions that would need to be answered, but why bother. I left at the end, as a middle aged film lover, contented. I would for sure keenly watch any sequel if it surfaces. Didn't do much for my Automatonophobia though... 6.5/10

> Not a unique concept, but the rest were completely surprised me. Technically, this was a another version of 'Jumanji', but a different universe. Originally it was not meant to be like that, because it was adapted from a series of children's book of the same name into a single movie. All the characters from the different books (book series) brought into one place, thus 'Jumanji' effect. When the fictional book characters come into the life, a group of youngsters team up to save the town from invasion. A tale that takes place in one day, especially most of the narration was a one night adventure. Totally an unexpected movie, but still not a masterpiece than just entertaining product. Maybe the actors were the reason, especially inclusion of Jack Black was the turn out. His second collaboration with the director after 'Gulliver's Travels'. And not to forget the CGI work was very acceptable for a little production like this. This theme was a very old, but the characters were unique. Maybe it was a box office lucky, but people won't simply acknowledge for useless things. This film's success was the effort of hard work. I won't surprise if they decide to make a sequel. I meant the same team, not the lower grade filmmakers and actors. 6½/10
