The Perfect School is one of the best Goosebumps that my seven and nine year olds have ever seen. They liked the ending because it had a clever twist. It wasn't too scary and had just the right amount of suspense.

This is a great movie. This is my ALL time favorite Goosebumps movie. I love them all, but this one is very simple to understand, and the twist is not to confusing, and the main character is likeable.

I reccomend this movie to anyone who likes Goosebumps. There is a lot of suspense in this movie. It's not the kind of movie that you want the good guy to loose. I was really afraid he would get caught in some of he scenes. There is a great twist at the end of this movie. I thought it would be something completely different. It is the best and probably is the best and easyist to understand. If you want to find out what this great twist is, BUY THIS MOVIE. I gaurentee you will like this movie. Here is what it is about.

The movie starts out when the main character Brian plays a prank on his little brother. Apperently he has done this before and his parents are sick of it, so they send him to a military type of school called the Perfect School. He then finds out that strange things are happening at the school. To find out what happens, see this movie!

This episode was alright. I thought the first episode was a little slow and nothing that exciting happened. On the second episode they explain everything thats going on. This episode is about a boy who gets sent away to the perfect school by his parents. He then realizes that theres something odd about the school. To find out more about this episode you should definetly watch it.

Who would've ever thought that one of the best Goosebumps episodes ever is based on a 10-page short story? An interesting, but rushed, storyline was turned into a suspenseful, cleverly woven two-part (45 min.) episode. You can only do so much in a TV series that's aimed for kids, but this episode is top-notch for its kind...and it has appeal for adults.

Brian is a teenager who's made fun of his little brother one too many times, so his parents send him to "The Perfect School" to learn some manners. The place is run like a prison, where obedience and conformity are used to make kids behave. More intriguing are both the security and the stern, no-nonsense headmaster, who's uptight and has no patience for trouble. Brian makes some acquaintances, but it's hard to trust certain people in this strange place. Something is odd about The Perfect School and its watchful eye. Brian doesn't want to be perfect and tries to escape, and he's about to learn the shocking secret of what happens to such kids...

There are many things that make this episode work. It's probably the most mainstream TV episode in the series - instead of monsters and dummies (which are cool, but for a younger crowd), this is about a gloomy school where you either conform to the rules or pay the consequences. Therefore, some adults will enjoy it too. Also, Brian is a smart and highly likeable character. The villain (headmaster) is a memorable one because he's just a person...he chooses to be evil. Further, the suspense of both uncertainty and escape quicken the pace and tension. You could even see the episode as an attack on surveillance and forced comformity. To top it off, the climax and twist ending are near brilliant.

If you like the series or want to check out an engaging horror-suspense TV episode that the whole family can enjoy, this is perfect for you.

I think this movie was good for the age group it is geared for. No scary monsters or anything just kind of creepy situations, suspense, that kind of thing. Perfect for halloween. My 5 1/2 year old enjoys goosebumps and for her, she can tolerate most of the goosebumps series as long as we are with her watching them, of course (no nightmares either). She has her older friends, 7 and 10 years old hooked on them. Can't say all kids would enjoy these series. If your child likes harmless scary movies then they will like goosebumps movies because most episodes are about 1/2 each (usually 2 episodes to a dvd)so just enough time to keep the attention span and the situations are not over the top. My daughters' friends also say that some of them teach you lessons in life. Well, maybe some of them do...

this DVD was pretty good, the kids seemed to like it, I would recommend it for any Goosebump lover.
