Joe Dante recaptures a bit of his eighties glory-days with this fun but unspectacular kid's horror adventure. It's genuine horror aimed at children, with a similar animated clown doll to Poltergeist (for some children it might be too horrific).
A good old-fashioned "practical effects" horror movie that the kids will like. Joe Dante's veteran directorial skills in this genre are what makes this a pretty good movie.

This is one of the better films I've seen in 2011. Feels like those classic Amblin films that Super 8 wanted to be. Really good!
