The film doesn't try hard to make the case that Hannah's as "real" as anyone else despite being from a book, though it easily could have. That's Goosebumps's implicit premise when it comes to the monsters, after all.
Lenika Cruz, The Atlantic

It gently mocks the traditions of the genre -- giant preying mantis rips roof off high school -- while never getting too frightening.
Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail

Jack Black fires up a stampede of comic terrors ready made for Halloween. Sure it's exhausting. But Goosebumps, knowing its audience, lets it rip.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It's a cheerful, nasty delight.
