Goosebumps
Upset about moving from a big city to a small town, a teenage boy finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl living right next door. But every silver lining has a cloud, and his comes when he learns that she has a mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine, the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. It turns out that there is a reason why Stine is so strange... He is a prisoner of his own imagination: the monsters that his books made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. When the boy unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts and they begin to terrorise the town, it's suddenly up to Stine and the kids get all of them back in the books where they belong. This film is releasing in 2D and 3D, this is the 2D version.

Theresa Smith quote iconMonster's ink translates to scares for children on screen.

Michael Rechtshaffen quote iconCreepy 'Goosebumps' yarn scuttles onto the big screen.

ScreenIt
T. Durgin quote iconBut, all in all, this was just an exercise in fun that is targeted at kids, but doesn't forget the grown-ups in the audience. It also doesn't insult their intelligence or the savvy of today's kids. I hope it will be a monster hit.

Tomatometer quote iconGoosebumps boasts just enough of its spooky source material's kid-friendly charm to make up for the script's scattershot humor and a punishingly frantic pace.
