After lampooning horror films in the Scary Movie series, Marlon Wayans offers a spooky family comedy that's only sporadically funny and not all that spooky
Because the villains are possessed mannequins, characters can beat, dismember, and chainsaw them to bits in a family friendly movie, under the same logic that allowed He-Man to punch robots to death in his cartoons while never seriously harming any living opponent. Unfortunately, as cool as that may sound, it only occurs sporadically.
If anyone were to take the movie super-seriously, the idea that it’s bad for a dad to explain away fears by applying science feelsoffensively dumb. But getting riled up at that premise would be as silly as accusing the movie of conjuring actual demons—especially since nobody involved seems to have put much thought into it, and nor should you. There are better things to do with one’s time, and better movies to watch.
