Goosebumps (2015) 8/10

Starring : Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush, Ryan Lee, Jack Black
Director : Rob Letterman
Running Time : 104 mins

Zach Cooper (Minnette) moves with his family to a small town, where he meets his attractive neighbour Hannah (Rush). The two of them become friends and Zach soon discovers that Hannah’s father is secretly the famed children’s author RL Stine (Black), but when it turns out that the monsters from his books have become real, and the only thing stopping them from going on the rampage is the fact that they are trapped inside their books, the obvious happens and the gang have to stop the monsters from their terrible rampage.

I don’t know if it’s the big kid in me, but I really enjoyed this old-fashioned family movie. I never read the Goosebumps books as a kid, but I found this fun and refreshing, seeing as there are so few non-animated family movies made these days. Like Night At The Museum or Jumanji, this uses fantasy in a clever way that makes this movie both entertaining and enjoyable.
