Sigh, another day, another Open Season sequel. That also means another day that Sony opens up it's wallet, throws whatever small amount of money they can in other studio's faces and tells them "Go make an Open Season sequel but with less of the good humour. Oh and none of the actors from the other films."
At this point though, Sony must have honestly given up.
Too content with making really huge blockbusters *coughcoughStinkers*, they decided the baton must be passed to the Canadians. And thus nearly all of the production was done in Canada, the animation (done by Rainmaker Entertainment, same ones who did Reboot back in the Mainframe days and Ratchet & Clank), the voice acting (who actually do a much better job then anyone in the 3rd film though it's nothing to run home and shout about), maybe even the writing was done by Canadians.
Too bad then that ever since the 3rd sequel, the franchise has ditched the word "Funny" and decided a bunch of measly Christmas cracker jokes would do instead... oh and poop jokes too, lots of em. Therefore you probably won't be laughing at anything these critters say but you'll instead be thinking "How the devil are Sony still making these?".
And the plot's a load of codswallop too, the whole film is basically Elliot trying to scare the living daylights out of Boog.
Yeah, would have worked as an 8 minute cartoon, a 10 minute episode of a show or even a 22 minute TV special. But as an 87 minute film, paah ha ha ha ha you're having a laugh there chums! There's only so much they can do with this kind of material and by the time the mystery of whatever that Werewolf Elliot keeps talking about is finally revealed, the only thing you'll be doing is checking your watch.
So yeah Open Season: Scared Silly. Not as bad as the other films I've seen so far (hence why it gets the 3 rating) but still Sony, this season has gone on far enough and little old me says it's time to close it for good and let the animals have peace for once.
Then again, Sony's probably not caring since they're rolling around in money like Scrooge McDuck. Beats me.

Open Season Scared Silly or Open Season 4, is a bad movie, I was barely hoping that this film was good, but nope, is bad, I understand that the budget is low, but I'm not judging animation, because that doesn't import, is the history, is boring, and slow, with some Poop Jokes and a Synopsis bad, bro, a Manwolf, a Cam history, that is very... (WHAT) and ridiculous, the final battle is acceptable for me, the beginning is actually good, Shaw comes back and I like that, boog is hilarious and Elliot is not so annoying, but in general, I JUST recommend you this movie if you are not exigent, but hey, I didn't finish, there is an scene of the characters going ina. Lava Trip in a mini car, what is that, is a bad movie, but I enjoyed some parts, it's Boring and Entertaining at the same time, and that is ok, it have emotive moments but not development, as I say this film has very good things, but that doesn't make movie good, but is not horrible at least for me, I give to this film an 5.3/10.
Wow. Not much to say. I really scary movie. The jokes don't work and the even the kids did not like it. Technically OK but content wise a disaster. So rather watch some old Disney movies instead of Open Season 4. Anyhow I am wondering how this series made it up to 4 episodes already. And also the current average rating of 5.2 does not reflect the real quality of the film also knowing that everyone's opinion is quite subjective. This was one of the films where even the kids wanted to go out the cinema earlier. And usually they rather prefer watching commercials instead of getting away from the screen. Compared to Arlo and Spot...miles behind.
Its time, Sony! Stop!! There are many reasons why I despise this movie! 1: All characters from Open Season 3 has disappeared! Even Elliot and Giselles kids are gone! 2: Timberlake is back, but, the characters are more boring. 3: Why does boog shake his butt in a plane wheel? 4: Why is boog afraid of werewolves?? 5:cringe.
Don't watch this movie.

The animals gather around a campfire. Elliot tells a scary story about the legend of the Wailing Wampus Werewolf. Boog is the only scared one. Elliot decides to scare the fear out of Boog. With Open Season gone, Shaw has turned into a sightseeing tour guide. When the scare effort goes overboard, Shaw and his clients become convinced of a werewolf. They convince Gordy to reopen Open Season, but only for werewolf.
Open Season is a second tier franchise and this is its Halloween TV movie episode. I like these characters although they are mostly light weight comedy. The franchise fits nicely on the small screen and that probably allowed it to start a TV series. I like the spooky woods and wouldn't mind staying there.
