The Willies, a review by addicted2dvd

Title: The Willies
Movie Count: 9
TV Ep Count: 3
Other Count: 0
Time Started: 3:30pm
Plot:
"The Willies" stars 'Sean Astin' ("The Lord of the Rings") and 'James Karen' ("Mulholland Drive").

A harmless backyard camp out becomes an unforgettable night of chills and thrills for three young boys as they share their favorite scary stories.

They each take turns at giving each other "The Willies." The stories come to life, each more horrific than the last. The poodle in the microwave, a tasty fried rat, and a haunted house that really can "scare you to death." But the next two stories really happened...

All the fifth grade bullies loved to pick on Danny Hollister. No one believed Danny when he discovered a monster in the school bathroom---until the bullies began to disappear, one by one.

Mean 'ol Gordy Belcher was a creepy fat kid whose only friends were bugs. His problems magnified (literally!), but what can you do when you're attacked by a bug bigger than you are?

When it seemed the camp out couldn't get any more terrifying, our boys discovered just how true scary stories can be. Tonight, they'll definitely get "The Willies."

My Thoughts:
Well... going into this one I wasn't expecting much as I knew it was geared towards a younger audience. So I thought I would take the opportunity to watch a movie with Brittany. Well it was pretty cute... but even Brittany didn't care for it all that much. I had heard it was similar to Goosebumps... which I can see... but it wasn't as good as the Goosebumps stories.

My Thoughts:
Going into this one I couldn't remember if I seen it before or not. There was enough scenes in it that looked familiar to make me believe I have. Though I am sure it hasn't been since it was originally released. I did enjoy this one... but not as much as I did the first one. I found I just didn't care about the story in this one as much as I did the first.

I loved Knight Rider as a kid. And I still enjoy watching it. Also it has a great opening theme.
This pilot started great. I enjoyed the introduction of KITT and Michael Knight. But when they go on their mission, it ends up being an average episode.
