Skylar Lewis: Chasseuse de monstres

This came out when I was 10 and I loved it so much, I am going to go re-watch it asap just for some memories of childhood. I would recommend this title to anyone who had children that are into defeating monsters or who are excited by futuristic devices, as this will fulfill their imagination as it definitely did to me. I loved this movie!

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.

Monsters are gaining strength and power as they feed on the increased fear of humans on Halloween. Meanwhile, a teen girl who simply wants to enjoy her normal life, discovers she belongs to a family of monster hunters

There is definitely an audience for this movie. Just not a very big one. The problem with movies like this is that they don't age well. The music and the story are geared toward a very specific audience and time period. There's a line in one of the songs that says, "You don't have to try that hard." That feels like the motto for this movie. From an adults viewpoint, it's poorly written and poorly executed to the point that it's hard to overlook and enjoy what's presented here. It feels long and gets repetitious. The acting and dialogue is cringey at times. I've never seen ghostbusters, but from what I know about it, this movie feels like a preteen version of that movie.

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?

When Skylar Lewis, a savvy tween, accidentally releases a ghostly evil in her town, she discovers that she is a fifth-generation monster hunter. With the help of her right hand, Sadie, Skylar must defeat the monsters during a thrilling Halloween party.
