    A solid goodebumps thriller with a hint of a twist ending. Fun to see a young Ryan gosling.

    Ryan Gosling

    My son loves Goosebumps so we were watching on Netflix and I couldn't put my finger on who that kid was until a couple scenes in. Ryan Gosling lol

    The Flashes of Evil have Come

    The other episode plays out the fears of the kids slightly better, but here the acting is Stella especially for a Goosebumps episode. The episode is genuinely creepy and scary, and the flashes of brilliance comes naturally.

    Ever taken a picture and it came out as something completely different or unexpected?, then yes this is the episode for you, the episode does some major twists and turns and puts you on the edge of your seat. The clever altered images creates for some mystery and some good horror moments and raises the question? Why does Spidey own a Haunted Camera.

    The show then gets bigger and bolder and even puts lives at risk and in the expense of the Images and the Cameras own doings, the Episode is paced well, has some genuinely good scares, and Ryan Reynolds young self is also brilliant here.

    The Episode gets an 8.95 as it is Fun and Imaginative all at the same time.

    Never read the book but...

    It's a good episode

    The Script

    Has a decent script tbh, and maybe not like the book but I enjoyed this episode.

    The Acting

    Not great, a little bit cheesy lol but not to bad. Ryan Gosling did well despite not getting much screen time, should of had more on this show he's a good actor, and he didn't do a bad job in this.

    Drama

    High quality drama. And actually the drama got me gripping for more of it.

    The Plot

    Nowhere to be seen, but it's actually good at Pouints and has a decent plot.

    Action

    It has some good action sequences. I like parts when Ryan Gosling was in them.

    Music

    Well done. They did a good job and normally do. The soundtrack right at the start, always makes me excited I wouldn't mind to admit that.

    I'd rather do good reviews then rush them that's just me. If I were to be a YouTuber I'd prefer to give good content then rushed and in unsharp content, that's just a little insight on me.

    Now hope you are all having a good day. And I'll see you around, it's a goodbye from me.

    Nothing like the Book

    There is a few moments that match the original story, but it's completely different from the book. A character is missing, multiple plot points don't occur, and the ending is completely changed. I want a remake, sadly.

    • Trivia
      R.L. Stine took his inspiration for the plot of the novel this is based on from Rod Serling's A Most Unusual Camera (1960). Stine is a big fan of the show and much of his work is inspired by Serling.
    • Goofs
      When Joey and Mickey are walking down the street and Greg and Bird see them, Bird says Mickey's last name is "Knotts". However, in the credits, Mickey's last name is "Ward", the same as in the original novel.
