Critics Consensus

Goosebumps boasts more than enough of its spooky source material's kid-friendly charm to make up for some slightly scattershot humor and a hurried pace.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

The triumvirate of young actors are charming but, inevitably, it's Mr Black who steals the show with his patented, hilarious bellowing. Will today's creepypasta kids still enjoy such silly fireside supernaturalism? We do hope so.

Rated: 3/5

Black is in good form as the enigmatic Stine, but it is Minnette as Zach who impresses most.

For the most part, the story sticks to a predictable narrative.

Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast

An amusing, if overstuffed adaptation of classic R.L. Stine tales. As the children's author, Black is solid and so is the FX, though the shrieking best friend performance by Ryan Lee quickly becomes grating and Hannah's resolution is wonky at best.

Rated: 3/5

NME (New Musical Express)

The film adaptation of R.L. Stine's classic horror novels is shockingly enjoyable.

Rated: 4/5

Will tickle your funny-bone more than raise any actual goosebumps, but it's a fun throwback to the kind of teenage thriller best enjoyed at a Saturday afternoon matinee movie with a large box of popcorn and a Coke.

Rated: 3.5/5

I Like the movie, it is very well directed and amazing acting but The only problem is that it is more comedic then scary, and goosebumps is a mixture of horror and comedy, not saying I hate it, it just didn't really feel scary in anyway, Great Movie! 9/10
