Goosebumps (2015) (PG)
If you have read R L Stine's Goosebumps series, this movie will be a hoot. When teenager Zach Cooper (Minnette) moves to a new town from the big city, he is, no doubt, upset. But he doesn't know that his beautiful new neighbour, Hannah (Rush), is the daughter of R L Stine (Black) of the aformentioned best-selling series. But there's something quite amiss and they soon find out why the Stine is so reclusive - he is trapped by his own imagination and the monsters he cooked up are, in fact, real! All it takes is for Zach to unwittingly release the monsters for the adventure to begin!
