Marshall loves horror movies. His best friend Gilbert does not. It's Halloween coming up. Marshall challenges Gilbert to ding dong ditch and it goes badly. There is something strange going on in that house. Amy is the new girl at school. Her two dads had split up and she can't wait to get out of town. She's an aspiring writer and recruits the two best friends in an investigation into the house with a suspected mummy.
This is a preteen children's horror comedy and a remake of a 1997 Disney movie. I've never seen the original. The kids are a newbie, a Disney veteran, and a voice over actor. The production is similarly a mixed bag. It's a kiddie movie with a kiddie mummy. There's limited CGI and nothing that flashy. Some of it is basically home-made. I like it, sort of. I like the amateurism of the kids. I like the silliness and campiness of the mummy although there could be less of him in one scene. I like the general sense of the group. The bad guys could be scarier. I'm guessing that they dial down the horror aspect for the little kids. Non of this is anything scary. It's fine for younger ones.

Bad remake of a decent Disney Channel Halloween movie. Actually, it may be the worst Disney Halloween movie I've seen. I hope they learned that originality is better than a remake.
Enjoyable film with decent plot and actors.
The final battle was a bit anti-climactic though as the kids want more slap stick and a longer home alone style battle instead of a 3 second fight!
Other than that it wasn't bad!

Some of the things they did with the story were good, but this just misses out on the snappy dialogue and fun sight gags of the original. I think overall this just feels too safe, Disney isn't really trying anything new or pushing any boundaries.
We all know Disney is more corny than anything but it seems in the last decade, the shows have produced mediocre acting, directing and writing. Under wraps, the original, was a classic of the older Disney made movies for tv that had a better story line. This new version, while still Disney, is a very sad attempt to recreate the original. The costumes for the mummies themselves are laughable and not even close to being slightly realistic; i.e. Makeup still on the mummy's eye lids (uh yeah that would have been gone a long time ago), the fact that the mummy was directly exposed to direct air and humans with no protective barrier...etc.... Disney write's and costume designers got very sloppy and lazy and honestly should be ashamed of this movie. The dialogue is juvenile and lacking and shows Disney's lack of understanding true kids of today.
