The previews alone were enough to make me not want to see this film as a kid and when my dad rented it I was rewarded with what I thought I was going to be rewarded with...an annoying movie. The kids are indeed as annoying as they seemed on the previews, the whole kick him in the nards was incredibly stupid and repeated over and over during the trailers of the film, and the cast is a bunch of people you will never see again. I have seen adult movies with more recognizable stars than this boring foray into monster hunting. Probably seemed like a sure hit when it was pitched initially...we have some kids and we have some classic movie monsters, it will be like a Goonies II, however we will add bad plot points and stupid story and some kids out of some random playground to save on money. Do not worry though we will have a nard joke. Yes, I am somewhat sure that is what the pitch was like. I think this movie had some potential, but it just misses the mark. It just needed a little polishing of the script an entirely new cast of kids, and some stars in the roles of the monsters, especially Dracula.
