Blending comedy with light horror is not often done well. Beetlejuice, Death Becomes Her, and Gremlins come to mind, but don't get your hopes up that this will deliver those sorts of special effects, acting chops, or funny moments. While this film made a good effort it is fairly predictable and solidly aimed to the younger crowd...which is fine except it's likely to scare them more than it amuses.
The bottom line: there are simply not enough funny parts. If you think you'll like this, just rent Beetlejuice again...a 1998 movie that is still the best of it's kind even as 2013 approaches. Perhaps it's not fair to compare a b-movie film to older blockbusters, but at the end of day this genre seems to have timeless jokes - so you might as well go with the best ones rather than the most current.
