movie review - Goosebumps (2015)

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2021.09.18

We watched this with the kids. It's about the villains from dozens of horror novels being released into a generic American city by some teenagers. It's friendly fare for younger kids, because not a lot is really ever at stake and there's little more violence than some freeze-ray stuff and endless car explosions. And I have to say it was one of the least annoying performances I've seen from Jack Black. It was fun and ridiculous.

Recommended.
