The best way to sum this movie up is by watching the trailer pretty much. It shows every single 'scary' scene in the movie so there's no way to be scared or guessing what might happen next. So that was a major let down.
Next. I understand that this is targeted for a younger audience but this was over the top stupid and unbelievable. A few things that stand out in my memory now are; When the cop is standing in front of the Jangling Man, he literally just stands there. This monster is coming towards him and he does not move a muscle. Not sure who would do that but okay. When the cop says the 'red spot' girl is going to be in the loonie bin for the rest of her life. Based on what? She had a panic attack an hour ago, that's not a life sentence to an asylum. When the guy goes to get that wax sound machine to listen to Sarah Bellows, he just walks right over to the cupboard and pulls this machine out like he knew exactly where it was. When the hospital workers shut down the whole building with red lights flashing and alarms going off because they saw a kid run down a hallway.
I could go on and on about how poor everything in this film was but I just don't care anymore. Being a HUGE fan of the book series I feel very let down by this movie. I suggest just watch the trailer, it shows every single scene one might want to watch in that movie.
