SnoopyStyle Skylar Lewis (Olivia Holt) comes from a family of monster hunters and she doesn't know it. Her parents keeps her home for Halloween but she decides to cut the power to the home alarm. The problem is that power is also cut from the containment vessel and various monsters are released. Family friend Cobb reveals the family secret. With her scared friends Henry and Sadie, she must recapture Deimata who intends to possess her.This Disney movie is a showcase for some of its young stars and is aimed for their young fans. It's inferior in many ways. The writing, the adult actors, the special effects, and the plotting are all second rate in one way or another. Mostly, this relies on the movie's young stars. Olivia Holt is definitely a beauty although she may be better off playing the mean girl. Kerris Dorsey plays the best friend and she may have better dorky innocence to accentuate the leading role. Why not have the mean girl and the sweet girl team up to defeat the monsters? The plot doesn't really make any sense. I don't know why she would go to the party except that it needs to manufacture the situation. It does have the central premise about fear which is very appealing. One must grade on a curve for these kinds of movies.
A_Different_Drummer The kindest thing you could say about this mess is that the budget was too low so they had to take shortcuts.Unfortunately if you read the credits you will see that this is a 100% Disney Channel product, so you had one of the greatest and most powerful corporations on the planet behind this film, so you can't merely blame the budget.You can however blame some overpaid Disney exec blueskying with his team, saying something like "Halloween is upcoming and everyone knows we OWN that franchise but ever since High School Musical, we also have a musical franchise, so let's kill two birds with one stone and do both at the same time. Now, where do we go for lunch today?" This kind of thinking led to the creation of the SPORK.Nothing is right here -- the writing, the acting, the special effects, the excessive use of colored smoke, easily one of the worst Disney productions of all time.
Morgan Cue This movie is enjoyable they should make more movies why do you people hate it? Come on! It's one of the best movies I ever saw My favorite part was when Deimata as that girl went on stage and started singing strangely, that is what you call a movie obviously you people have no good taste in movies whoever criticized the movie it's better than any horror movie and I hated them movies called scary movies 1,2,3,4,and 5 I actually watched a few of them on T.V and I wasn't scared! plus Deimata was really scary looking when the first preview came out last year I was optimistic about it and think it was going to be great I was right It was great it should be the Highest rated movie on Disney channel all the other movies as of the 2010's were HORRIBLE! but I liked the camp rock movies,I really hated teen beach movie,High school musical was good but it wasn't great,Olivia Holt does a good job acting and singing not like actors in other movies compared to her so what are you complaining about?
Ashleasenft I hate this movie SO much. Olivia Holt doesn't deserve to be where she is at. There are so many nicer and more talented people in the world. Why did you have to choose her? This movie makes her look like she is put over all the other characters: Oh, she gets the boys, she's pretty, she can sing, and she is not afraid of monsters. No girl is perfect like this. This movie is making guys think that there is going to be someone just like Olive Holt out there, but nobody is really that perfect. It makes girls feel bad about themselves who don't have as good as a life as Skylar in this movie. Some people out there have been so nice, but they get stepped on all over because they are shy and will always let the bratty people get their way. This movie shows like it is SUPPOSED to be good to put the outgoing people over everyone else. Some people have been so nice and talented their entire lives, but just because they are shy they don't get anything in return? This is horrible. Please don't watch this. I am sorry but Skylar or Olivia Holt just don't deserve anything. Some people are shy in this world and have a fear they will never get a boy. This is ridiculous.
