Cool Movie! well, the starting was kinda boring and clichéd. ya know, the high school stuff, this dominating girl who grabs Cassie's crush and all.... but the middle gets good. And the end is the best part. the story's all about this goth girl (Cassie) who loves reading horror. she finds this out of the blue shop, where she bought herself a book called 'the evil thing' from a white haired weirdo. It turns out that this books so called 'evil thing' turns alive if you read it aloud. So soon, this evil monster grabs Cassie's brother Max, a pizza boy and the 'Pumpkin queen' Priscilla and locks them up in a spider web cocoon. What seriously gets on your nerves are the effects. they seem pretty cheap for a Universal movie. Anyways, Its typical R.L Stine stuff and that's exactly why its worth a watch!

Of course, you may call this a superhero movie, so founding a long lost wife and people trying to kill you wouldn't sound too awkward. But the fact that this happens in every hero movie gets on my nerves. I first watched the movie expecting it to be a total different one from the other superhero movies, i was seriously bored of the invincible guys. Well, the starting 1 hour of the movie kinda was the way i wanted it to be, like we saw will smith in the promos. Comedy, action etc. was all there was. But later came in the same old 'sexy' superwoman and their history. Ain't that old already? but the story progressed well, so was the direction top class. Whatever, still could have been better. But, I'll bet on it, it certainly is worth a watch1
