Why it’s HorroRated
Goosebumps is a family horror film that takes its source material seriously enough to build a real mythology around it. Jack Black as R.L. Stine is inspired casting and the film uses the monster catalogue creatively rather than exhaustively. A better film than most literary adaptations produced for the young adult market.
Synopsis
Rob Letterman's family horror comedy balances scares and comedy for a broad audience with Jack Black's Stine as the comedic center. The film uses the monster catalogue creatively rather than exhaustively. A better film than its premise required.
