  1. The pity is that one look at the cast list promises riches that never surface; these are hugely talented actors feeding on the scraps of a solid premise made stagnant by the screenplay’s myriad shortcomings.
  2. Like an inoffensive light ale, the result slips down more pleasantly than you might expect.
  3. It’s just a shame the formulaic story feels about as paper-thin as you might expect from an adaptation of a ladders-and-levels video game. As is so common in these Hollywood animations, the ‘family is forever’ theme looms large, but never once feels sincere or authentic.
  4. There are undeniable faults, plot holes and a dubious ending, although it’s still a crowd-pleaser executed with zest, suggesting Williamson is integral to Scream, if you wanna go faster.
  5. It should be funnier, it should be more frightening, and it needed everyone involved to bring a feistier game to a film that began life as, well, a game. Here’s hoping any future reservation at the deathly diner has a more mouth-watering menu.
