Premise:
A young kid, who is an outcast in school because he can speak to ghosts, takes it upon himself to save the town from a centuries old witches' curse.
My Take:
A very entertaining movie for the entire family. It's got a lot of charm, plenty of laughs, and great message for kids. The animation is top notch as well.
Rating: So Good

Proud to admit that I am a horror junkie. However, my definition of what falls under the realm of horror entertainment is fairly wide. Horror is an emotion experienced differently by individuals. These are short reviews of the movies, television series, novels, comics, albums, and any thing else which crosses my path if I feel like falls into the wide world of horror entertainment.

Great review Sean. This flick was a little too slow at times for me, but for the most part kept me entertained with its humor and energetic voice-cast. Especially the little fat kid, who was not only was cute as anything, but also nailed every time he had a funny line.
