WHAT’S IT ABOUT

While collecting junk one day, best friends Sonny and Sam meet Slappy, a mischievous talking dummy from an unpublished “Goosebumps” book by R.L. Stine. Hoping to start his own family, Slappy kidnaps Sonny’s mother and brings all of his ghoulish friends back to life — just in time for Halloween. As the sleepy town becomes overrun with monsters, witches, and other mysterious creatures, Sonny joins forces with his sister, Sam, and a kindly neighbor to save Sonny’s mom and foil Slappy’s plan.

MOVIESinMO REVIEW

Slappy’s back. Yes, that little demonic ventriloquist dummy that’s in every trailer and commercial about this movie. The title may be the same, but the story is just an excuse to bring back the characters just in time for Halloween. As for the film, the story starts simple enough as it eventually introduces us to the main characters and best friends, Sonny and Sam. Like most kids’ movies, they are the underdogs, outcasts, and heroes of the film. When the formalities of character introductions end, it’s time to meet Slappy. . . .by accident of course. Once he arrives, it changes the tone of the movie as you start to develop empathy for the dummy. Later, Slappy’s true intentions come to light, and then (finally) the rest of the monsters appear. Keeping with the theme of the film, Halloween is when everything happens. Slappy is in charge, and things are getting worse. Throughout the film, the monsters cause havoc all over town while some adults are questioning the legitimacy of the monsters. Everything about this movie screams TV special – not a feature film. The acting is sub-par, the effects are ok, and the story is forced. So who is this movie for? How stupid do they think American children are? I truly hope no one over thirteen is forced to watch this embarrassment.
