Like the book series that inspired this movie, this is mostly kiddie fare. Awkward teen moves in next door to a fictionalized R.L. Stine and his daughter. Turns out that if any of the author’s locked manuscripts is opened, it unleashes the monster from the tale. This plot device allows the picture to include several of the beasts and villains from the books. Though not exactly intellectually engaging, this accomplishes what it sets out to do. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
