DJ Harvard lives directly across the street from a most unusual house. A malevolent entity that longs to feed on the energy of the living, the once peaceful house that looms ominously outside of DJ's bedroom window would like nothing more than the chance to feast on the children of the neighborhood. As Halloween begins to draw near and the children of the neighborhood prepare for another long night of trick-or-treating, it appears as if it may be the house that is in for the biggest treat of all. Now, with the adults turning a deaf ear to DJ's strange findings, it's up to the brave young boy and his faithful friends Chowder and Jenny to break through the barrier of the supernatural and defeat the powers of darkness before the house grows too powerful to fight.
The animation is great, but that's really the only positive thing about this film. For adults, there's not much to keep your interest. For kids, it's a bit scary, so it's not suitable for the younger ones. That means there's a narrow age range of kids who might actually enjoy it. After 90 minutes, I was glad it was over and wondered what the real point of the film was. It doesn't have a moral lesson and is not very entertaining. Save your time and money on this one.
