Mostly Ghostly: Une nuit dans la maison hantée

This was not that scary but so good everybody would like it so try it ok?

Mostly Ghostly 3: One Night in Doom House(2016) Starring: Corey Fogelmanis, Sophie Reynolds, Blake Michael, Olivia Ryan Stern, Vivian Full, Andrew Herr, Jedidiah Goodacre, Jamie Kennedy, Peter DeLuise, Anne Marie DeLuise, Karen Holness, Zak Santiago, Ali Eagle, Alexa Barajas, Juliette Cohen, Adam Tsekhman, Darryl Van Dyke, Nelson Wong, and Danny Trejo Directed By: Ron Olivier Review Hello Kiddies your pal the Crypt-Critic is back with another children's horror film from R.L Stine.The third chapter in the mostly Ghostly series which apparently is not a trilogy but a series. Okay. Looks like Crypty got some information wrong with his last review. No worries. Anyway. The third film in this series which oddly enough was released this year on DVD go figure, brings back Max with his two ghost friends who are still on a search for there parents. They feel like they are more ghost pets to Max than actual friends as they do all his magic stunts with ghost stunts as he calls upon spirits. During one show to raise money for his girlfriend Tammy's dance, he calls upon a spirit who tells Nicky and Tara the whereabouts of there parents, The Elsewhere. Fearce has returned to put an end to Nicky and Tara and unleash his undead army with a crystal from Max. This chapter isn't as impressive as the last one I saw, I had a lot more fun with the last for I mean I thought the actors were great but the change of actors where terrible. I was not fond of the acting at all except for maybe I think the same guy who played Fearce or at least I think it was the same actor. The story did seem a little fun but fell flat for me, and the effects of course are never good so this was a very disappointing chapter. I'm giving Mostly Ghostly 3 a one and a half out of five.

As Max aims to help his ghost friends reunite with their missing parents, Phears returns, taking possession of a TV-famous charlatan ghost hunter in order to best Max and unleash his trapped army of darkness.

My first mistake was going into this not knowing it was the third in a series. That being said, it was obvious that nothing was missing from my understanding of the plot based on that lack of seeing the last two films. And I will say one thing: Jamie Kennedy gives a solid performance.

But beyond that... wow. What is up with the brother's face? And why does Max put up with a girlfriend who mistreats him and is ready to leave him for the biggest jerk in school? He has serious dependency issues. (The actress is, by the way, awful in every way and hopefully this marks the end of her career.)

No continuity throughout the movie series with each movie the actors got worse.

I sat down to watch "Mostly Ghostly 3: One Night in Doom House" with my six year old son, but he quickly lost interest in the movie, and I was left with the movie alone. At the time when he gave up, I wasn't particularly impressed with the movie, but still decided to continue on.

In all honesty, then I didn't get to finish the movie, because it just never appealed to me in any way. Sure, this is a 'scary' movie for the youngsters, but it could just as easily have had some appeal to an adult audience as well. Sadly, it didn't.

The storyline was semi-adequate, at least up to the point where my interest dwindled fully away. But there was just something lacking from the movie, because you never really fully immersed yourself into the storyline.

The acting in "Mostly Ghostly 3: One Night in Doom House" was good enough, but I can't really put a finger on any one particular performance that stood out. It was somewhat of a surprise to see Danny Trejo and Jamie Kennedy make an appearance in a movie such as thing, perhaps mostly so for the part of Danny Trejo.

A ghost movie, despite it not really being meant to scare, still needs to have good effects to be fully convincing, and "Mostly Ghostly 3: One Night in Doom House" didn't really have impressive effects. And that was also one of the reasons why my interest in the movie was ebbing fast.

"Mostly Ghostly 3: One Night in Doom House" is a movie for a young audience, no doubt about it, and I am sure that there is a solid following of the series out there somewhere. But those people were not in our household.

The movie lands a less than mediocre four out of ten stars rating from me. And I can with all honesty say that I am not going to return to the movie to finish watching it.
