Hits as a comedy with lighthearted spooky elements. Not scary but not quite kid friendly and mostly because it isn't entertaining enough to captivate. Something similar but better would be last year's *The Curse of Hollow Bridge*.

Except for some lines of dialogue from Tiffany Haddish, the comedy is incredibly flat. The emotions are crocodile tears and the acting is rough. The mystery never really hooked me. Tedious story. Bloated runtime doesn't help. I enjoyed the sets, the spooky atmosphere and it's always dark but there's always Halloween colors in the background (orange, purple, green). The CGI for the ghosts is fine, they go for a *Casper*-ish look so it doesn't need to look that good but anything else looks bad. They used CGI for too many things, including a cat walking around...
