Upset about moving from the big city to a small town, young Zach Cooper finds a silver lining when he meets his beautiful neighbor Hannah. The teen is surprised to learn that Hannah's mysterious father is R.L. Stine, the famous author of the best-selling "Goosebumps" series. When Zach accidentally unleashes the monsters from the fantastic tales, it's up to Stine, his daughter and Cooper to return the beasts to the books where they belong.

Critics Consensus

Goosebumps boasts more than enough of its spooky source material's kid-friendly charm to make up for some slightly scattershot humor and a hurried pace.

3/5

The triumvirate of young actors are charming but, inevitably, it's Mr Black who steals the show with his patented, hilarious bellowing. Will today's creepypasta kids still enjoy such silly fireside supernaturalism? We do hope so.

Black is in good form as the enigmatic Stine, but it is Minnette as Zach who impresses most.

For the most part, the story sticks to a predictable narrative.

3/5

An amusing, if overstuffed adaptation of classic R.L. Stine tales. As the children's author, Black is solid and so is the FX, though the shrieking best friend performance by Ryan Lee quickly becomes grating and Hannah's resolution is wonky at best.

4/5

The film adaptation of R.L. Stine's classic horror novels is shockingly enjoyable.

3.5/5

Will tickle your funny-bone more than raise any actual goosebumps, but it's a fun throwback to the kind of teenage thriller best enjoyed at a Saturday afternoon matinee movie with a large box of popcorn and a Coke.

Probably suitable for children but as a fan of the TV series, it's unchallenging, dull and the acting and comedy are as lackluster as the CGI.

I loved the Goosebumps books (and less so, but still, the TV show) when I was growing up. I think if a kid watches this weird interpretation now, at the age that I was then, they might enjoy it. But for me? It didn't work. I actually did appreciate more than I thought I would, but based on the trailers my expectations were abysmally low, so that's not exactly saying much.

I love Jack Black. He's great as R.L. Stine. The younger actors do surprisingly well. SLAPPY is easilly the scariest part of the movie. The start to a great potential trilogy.

Goosebumps is a family friendly film based off of the tv show that's based off the books by R.L Stine who's in the film played by Jack Black. Giving funny performances from Jack Black, Dylan Minnette, Odeya Rush and the rest of the cast, we see the books of R.L Stine come to life and R.L Stine himself and two kids have to save the day by putting the monsters back in their books. Overall, it's a family friendly film that's definitely a fun watch.
