Storyline
Upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper
(Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful
girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door. But every silver
lining has a cloud, and Zach's comes when he learns that Hannah has a
mysterious dad who is revealed to be R. L. Stine (Jack Black), 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 Zach unintentionally unleashes the monsters from their manuscripts
and they begin to terrorize the town, it's suddenly up to Stine, Zach,
Hannah, and Zach's friend Champ (Ryan Lee) to get all of them back in
the books where they belong.
Negatives: The character of Zach is bland, Disney Channel movie like script and a forced romance.
Mixed: The visual effects (most of the visual effects are not that good but they're tolerable)
Final verdict: 7.2/10 There is some things to admire about Goosebumps like the makeup and costume designs on the monsters but it is stuck on a script that looks like a Disney Channel movie. I'd say this film is a DVD rental. A high rental.
