Spirit Halloween dodges the bargain bin by opening its doors to a proficient gateway horror tale that plays like Goosebumps Lite in a seasonal decoration store. Read full review

If you are looking for a good slasher film, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a fun family-friendly film with a few good monsters, then try Spirit Halloween: The Movie. Read full review

Film ThreatJason DelgadoOct 13, 2022
Despite the greatness of Lloyd, the acting overall comes across as a bit stiff. There are a lot of fresh faces here, so it’s to be expected. Your level of enjoyment of Spirit Halloween: The Movie will probably vary based on your expectations coming in. I kept mine low and had some fun with the spooky cheesiness of it all. Read full review

There’s nothing wrong, in other words, with the idea of setting an all-ages haunted house-style chase movie in a corny bulk retail store. The main thing holding back Spirit Halloween: The Movie is that its young stars never get to convincingly act their age. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreSep 27, 2022
The script is just a collection of horror tropes. Jake reads from the Encyclopedia of Shadows book his dad left him. A fortune teller animatronic display spooks the kids. The frights are tepid at best. The banter is “sick, and not in a good way.” Read full review

Spirit Halloween: The Movie is a missed opportunity at best and totally unnecessary at worst. Read full review
