Le pacte mystérieux

If you are a fan of R. L. Stein with his works such as Goosebumps, Fear Street, and of course Mostly Ghostly, this is one family movie that's "horror for kids" that you wouldn't want to watch. The acting is ridiculous including the jokes, the dialog is lame and the special effects are not that much compared to today's standards! If you have seen this movie once; and unlike Dinotopia and most likely the Mostly Ghostly series stick with the original books!

Besides the TERRIBLE acting, it wasn't that bad. I just CAN'T get over the "ghost", having a shadow.

I was not expecting some movie like this from Disney. Usually, Disney makes movies that are more detailed, interesting, and not stupid. I would have to say that this movie was horrible. The special effects, flying, and costumes were terrible. I thought this was going to be a great movie, but it turned out to be a low-budget movie that Disney had to throw together really quickly for Halloween. Last Halloween, they had Twitches 2, and that was much better then this one even though the huge black cloud hand used for the "Darkness" was garbage. Some scenes were a little bit scary I would have to say; only one. But over all this movie was a waste of my time watching. Wow Disney, with all the billions of dollars you have, you at least couldn't make a decent movie that was actually good enough to sit through for 2 hours? I rate this a 3/10. I give it a 3 because I have to give it it's props, the plot was wonderful, but how they actually made it come to life was a disaster.

This movie has the worst CGI I have ever seen. It had bad effects, and it looked like there was a Green Screen behind everything. The plot was nice, but I am not going to spoil it for you. I get that this movie has been made in 2008, but really, could they spend a bit more money to make it look better? The acting looked kind of fake, and you can tell they are being told to say the things instead of thinking them. I'm sorry that I am so critical, but I am because my parents work in the entertainment business. It was an interesting plot, but really bad affects, and overall, just 2 stars. Thank you and have a great day!

P.S This review was written by a 12 year old.

Trying to overcome his tough childhood, a boy learns his house is haunted by the child ghosts of the former residents looking to prevent a sinister force from unleashing a great evil on Halloween and must band together to stop it from happening.

This here turned out to be quite a disappointing effort as there really could've been a lot going for it. The main problem with this one is the fact that there's no real reason for the ghost to start his plan of action. It really makes no sense because it's never really hinted at and it really doesn't offer anything as to make the villain an imposing figure beyond the blatantly obvious ploy he utters and the terrorizing he does, leaving a big hole in the film if the main villain is wrapped in complete and utter confusion. Also of rather low regard is the decision in the later half to remove the one that's been captured and make it impossible to offer assistance, which effectively renders it a moot point as to it's inclusion. As well, their child-like antics in the beginning aren't that enjoyable as watching them run around the house at fast speed and knocking things over or move furniture around don't make for a particularly exciting time. That said, there's still some fun to be had here with the rather fun effects on display, which make this pretty entertaining from time-to-time as it deals with the master ghost and the different ghouls in their make-up, the high-spirited finale has some great spectacle and there's one outstanding sequence where he must evade slumbering ghosts in a congregation to retrieve a prize without them noticing that comes off fairly chilling. As a full-on horror, though, this isn't that great but it's decent enough for children.
