Emma Watson stars in this animated family comedy about a dysfunctional family trying to reconnect when they are suddenly turned into monsters.
With a struggling bookshop, an overworked husband, and two misunderstood teenagers, Emma Wishbone (Watson) is at her wit's end trying to be the perfect mum. After dragging her family to a costume party on Halloween night, they are cursed by an evil witch and transformed into a vampire, a mummy, a werewolf, and Frankenstein's monster.

"Derivative, barrel-scraping "family animation" at its worst."

The Times
The Times"Adults are better off rewatching Hotel Transylvania (2012) or The Incredibles (2004), whose dysfunctional families are more human than this one."
—
The Straits Times
The Straits Times"The whole thing is exhausting, with too much slapstick, too few decent laughs and a care-y share-y message of family togetherness."
—
The Guardian
The Guardian"An anything-goes hodgepodge in need of a smarter, tighter narrative and more deftly conceived and rendered characters."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"... a clunky, ungainly and misconceived affair, neither witty nor visually imaginative enough even to begin to compare with the best Hollywood animation."
