VIDEO \u2013 4.25\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

R.L. Stine\u2019s Mostly Ghostly: Have You Met My Ghoulfriend?<\/em><\/strong> comes to Blu-ray with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer (MPEG-4 AVC codec). As any new movie should, this less than stellar budget movie still looks pretty good with sharp detail levels and colors appear to be vibrant during daylight scenes and some decently starkness for the nighttime shots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.25\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track has crisp and clear dialogue which is consistently understandable using the center channel while the others are mostly relegated for ambient noises, the generic DTV score and other off-screen action. It\u2019s nothing profound but has enough depth to make it at least an enjoyable aural experience.<\/p>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, R.L. Stine\u2019s Mostly Ghostly: Have You Seen My Ghoulfriend?<\/em><\/strong> is a sequel to a 2008 DTV flick that I honestly never heard of, let alone having seen. This is your typical young adult entertainment with slapstick comedy, low key humor, bad dialogue, so-so acting (the highlight is Bella Thorne) and a story maybe those used to shows on the Disney Channel will enjoy, for myself it was a chore to even get through.<\/p>\n

The Blu-ray released by Universal is basic with no features while the audio and video transfers are both well done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
