The Curse of Bridge Hollow

RATED 8/10 Language: English Source: Netflix RECOMMENDED

First of all, this is horror movie for kids at the same time it is not childish. Watchable for adults and recommended for kids.

The cast is good and story is OK. The CG work is adequate for the movie. The story is bit templated and predictable but it was overcome by the entertaining screenplay. There is no dull moment and I really loved the skeleton fight sequence.

There is no scary sequences and beware of the arachnophobia. Best movie to enjoy with family in weekend.

I watched the trailer and was hyped because I thought it was giving The Haunted Mansion comedy vibes... well it is light hearted and coded for family watch but the comedy just didn't hit me right.

The dad in this was just forcing his character of "Hey look at me I hate anything not explained by science and if you don't agree I'm judging you" that he came out overly one dimensional and preachy. Which I can digress don't always come out bad but for this one specifically, the dad was just doing the bit over and over and over (for the good 60 minutes of a 90 minute movie) that it quickly got stale.

They did give him some backstory for why he acted the way he did but it was very last minute in feel so it didn't really excuse anything.

The vibes reminded me of Me Time movie featuring Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg, I think if you liked that sort of comedy then you might like this?

Warning: There's some mild profanity in this for those who care about that bit in family movies.

Probably not the best person to write a movie review. I watch a lot of movies but people seem to be much pickier than myself.

I enjoyed the movie. It is a funny movie. It's just a fun Halloween movie. Doesn't try to be serious or push some hidden message. Just a story with some humor and some action. If you are looking for something deeper this isn't your movie. If you just want a entertaining movie then try this one.

Marlon Wayans is his usual self. Self-deprecating with flashes of sass and comebacks.

Don't let the "professional" critics ruin the movie for you. Not sure anyone reads or cares what they think. Try it out. If it isn't your liking then okay. I'm glad I didn't listen to them and tried it.

I really can't believe all of these bad ratings. This was a great kids Halloween film and it was actually scary in parts and I'm an adult. There were some laugh out loud scenes as well as good special effects and jumps. It is an all around entertaining family film. It definitely exceeded my expectations. Marlon Wayans was great in the lead and had great chemistry with the actress who plays his daughter and of course his wife. Scenes with spiders and clowns literally were creepy. I jumped in several parts and was surprised by that given it is a children's film. Those who are bashing it need to lighten up. What did you expect....an Oscar worthy film?

A funny and entertaining film made in a similar sprit to Jack Black's "Goosebumps". It unfolds like a children's story appealing to the general audience. Although rated TV14 for a few cusswords such as "ass", artificial characters in the film walk and behave more funny and cute ways than scary and intimidating. Nonetheless, there are a few clowns that might look too scary for kids under 8.

A happy-go-lucky family moves to the sleepy town of Bridge Hallow from Brooklyn, NY. A lawyer mom who cook cookies that taste like marbles, a science teacher father who is scared of bones, and a 14 years old girl who digs ghosts and Halloween, find themselves in a town that religiously celebrates the Halloween.
