This movie rips off Little Monsters!! And Goosebumps! And Clownhouse!


This movie is one big mish-mash of movie plots! Let's see..the slashes on the kids shoulder are something Freddy from the elm street movies would do....the lights needed to defeat the monsters is HEAVILY STOLEN from Little Monsters. The barking dogs ripped off the Goosebumps episode "Barking Ghost"..the part with the hall stretching out is taken from the Goosebumps episode "Haunted House Game"..The dummy upstairs is reminiscent of the movie "Dolls", or Slappy from the Nght Of The Living Dummy 2, 3, and Bride Of The Living Dummy, or yes even Chucky, or Fats from "Magic"

The man in the black coat ripping up the bed is stolen from when Freddy rips up Nancy's pillow in Elm Street 1 while looking for her...

The kid has an intense fear of the dark stating "you never know what's in the dark"..

The kid Casey from Clownhouse says, "You never know who they realy are!"

Those computer generated bugs reminded me of those computerized bee's in that bee movie where the man swalls a bee in his beer...forgot the name of it....

Those bugs were clearly fake computer bugs, use real ones..

The older teen covered in bugs no matter how computerized they look was reminiscent of Fear Factor!!

And the black swirling clouds that materalize as the monster is reminiscent of the monsters in the Playstation 2 game, "ICO"...





What are the purposes of signatures!!..
