I don't like it when people compare a movie to other movies; it's unfair. It should be reviewed on it's own merit. I know my heading seems like a contradiction in terms in that sense, but I'm not comparing this movie to those. Leave the comparing to the meerkats. This maybe classed as B movie, but it's definitely watchable with plenty of scares throughout. I'm not usually a fan of cheap jump scares, but in this case, although there's lots of them, they are a cut above the rest and pretty well executed, too. If you want to sit and watch a spooky seasonal Halloween movie and you're not too critical, or have your head shoved up your own a**e, then give this one a go. There's no bad language, sex or violence, so the kids could probably watch it, but they might be having nightmares for, well, the rest of their life, really. :) Be warned!
