Scary books
I really didn't know what to think about this when I started to watch this, but I found some good things in this. Its also based off the book that I might check out.
I like the plot, the acting and the visuals of the stories they show also the Nightbook stories were interesting.
The rest is clearly a scary movie that kids can watch and probably can be scared by the visuals and the monsters shown through out.
But I will give credit to the creepy and disturbing scenes and imagery they got away with on the monsters and the witch, even the 3rd act was disturbing.
In the end its a creepy kids movie that kids can tolerate, but also it has creepy imagery and disturbing scenes that they can enjoy.

Wanna live? Write scary stories....
A Netflix Original about an insatiable witch and a kid with a knack for storytelling. It's a harmless kids movie that sends a positive message about embracing your quirks and being yourself! The child actors are charming enough, but the cartoonish CGI and predictable plot hold it back.
Cheesy
Definitely a children's movie but not too young. 10 and older. Scary movies about Scary stories.
Better than i expected
This movie have a lot of scary moment. Although it look like for family sitting and watching together. It's so scary to think if that situation happened to me. So it's okay to waste your time.
Good to watch with the kids
A good horror movie to watch with the kids. It wasn't too scary nor too lame even for older children to sit down on and appreciate. For an adult alone, well that's the a whole different scenario as I was kinda bored in some parts, waiting for some real action to begin.
But the story and actors were altogether fun to watch. There was a uniqueness in the plot that will leave your kids in awe and would probably stay focused on the tv and not the snacks alone.
Kristen Ritter doesn't seem to have aged, suitable for her being a witch in this movie.

Did you know
- TriviaThe song "Cry Little Sister", the theme song to the 1987 Vampire film The Lost Boys (the movie playing on the TV that entices Alex into the apartment), is heard twice. The first time, when Alex and Yasmin perform their science experiment, it is performed by original artist Gerard McMahon. The second time, when Alex and Yasmin are in the boiler room, it is a cover version performed by Chvrches.
- Quotes
Yasmin: Weird? Who called you that? --- Well, they're right. You are weird. I mean, look at you. The thing that makes you weird makes them ordinary, and nobody likes to be ordinary because ordinary sucks. So ordinary people are going to try and take that away from you by calling you names like... try hard or...
Alex: Or creepshow
Yasmin: Yeah, or creepshow.
