Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It's a cheerful, nasty delight.

fresh:
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.

fresh:
It gently mocks the traditions of the genre -- giant preying mantis rips roof off high school -- while never getting too frightening.

rotten:
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.

More goofy fun than such a blatant cash-in ought to be.
