This is a fun movie that really oozes with Halloween spooky vibes. Lo-fi practical effects are used rather than CGI and really give it a classic 80's or early 90's vibe (along with a sort of Carpenter-esque soundtrack), and the humor is pretty fun.
Keep in mind this isn't a gruesome or terrifying movie, it's more like a scarier Goosebumps episode that you could watch with youngsters and still enjoy yourself. It does have an overall spooky atmosphere and a couple of jump scares, so it's nice to see a kids horror film that's not wall-to-wall humor and silliness.
The main character plays it pretty straight forward, with her friends acting as the wacky and weird sidekicks, and it gave me quite a few laughs. Especially everything to do with the cat.
Highlights: -Overall Halloween vibes -The dead cat -Weird sandwiches -The practical monster effects -The Rock lookalike
Think it'll probably make my Halloween rotation.
