Reviews

Spooky+ garnered mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike upon its release. The film currently holds a 4.8/10 rating on IMDb. While some praised Doug Jones' performance and the movie's atmospheric setting, others felt the plot was lacking in originality and depth. Rotten Tomatoes critics highlighted the film's eerie visual style but noted that it relied too heavily on clichéd horror tropes. Metacritic offered a more balanced perspective, with some reviewers appreciating the film’s creepy aesthetic and effective jump scares, but others criticizing the predictable storyline and underdeveloped characters. One notable quote from a Rotten Tomatoes reviewer stated, 'Spooky+ delivers on chills but falls short in delivering an engaging narrative,' giving it a score of 40%. On the other hand, an IMDb reviewer mentioned, 'Doug Jones shines in this otherwise mediocre ghost story,' awarding the film a 5/10. Overall, while Spooky+ managed to create a spooky atmosphere, its reception was hindered by a lack of originality and coherence in its script.
