Quotes

Mrs. Vanders: [in the laboratory, Shaggy and Scooby prepare to eat a meal] Halt! Before you go any further, I must inform you of two facts. One: these parts are not food.
[the camera zooms in to reveal maggots on the fish]
Mrs. Vanders: They are the parts the baron rejected for his creature.
Shaggy Rogers: Zoinks! Like, what's the other fact?
Mrs. Vanders: That at what you sit is not a table.
[the table cloth is removed to reveal the Frankencreep cryogenically frozen]

Disappointing and Sadly Quite Boring

Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy (2014)

** (out of 4)

Incredibly disappointing feature has Velma inheriting her great-great-uncles castle in Transylvania, which has a curse on it. As soon as the gang heads off to see it, the Mystery Machine is blown to pieces by a strange phantom wearing a mask. Once in Transylvania it's clear that someone wants revenge on Velma and the gang.

After the slightly disappointing WRESTLEMANIAC MYSTERY, this latest feature is without question one of the worst. That's not to say that the film isn't worth viewing for fans of the series but there's no question that the film offers very little in regards to entertainment. I will say that there are a few good ideas scattered around but sadly none of them add up to very much and in the end I couldn't help but keep looking at my watch wondering when the film was going to be over.

The film tries to do a few new things but I just didn't find anything of them overly interesting. One of the new things was to have the characters all appear in a different form. Shaggy and Scooby turned into brave creatures who don't like to eat. Fred was a whining cry-baby throughout the picture. Daphne turned into an obese woman with awful hair. Then there's Velma who turned into a sexy boss. You'd think some of these changes would be fun but I thought the screenplay was so bland that this stuff was more annoying than anything else. In fact, I'd say this is the absolute worse I've ever seen the Fred character.

The biggest sin committed by this movie is the fact that it's simply deadly boring. I don't think I'm going to call this the worst thing to deal with Scooby-Doo but there's no question that there's no energy, no passion and there's just nothing working with this thing. The film adds some footage from the original television show and there's a nice twist at the very end but it's really too bad these weren't used for a better purpose. I won't spoil the ending but it was a clever little idea that should have been used in a much better picture.
