Hotel Transylvania – Trick or Treat?



With Halloween in sight, Hotel Transylvania is latest animated film to hit the cinema circuit, but the question is trick or treat?

A human named Johnny stumbles upon Dracula’s high-end holiday resort and safe house for mythical monsters, and then proceeds to fall in love with the his daughter. Dracula, voiced by Adam Sandler, is an overprotective father who goes to great lengths not to alarm his guests and daughter to the presence of an “evil” human in the hotel.

Although criticised for lacking creativity with humour and characterisation, this ghoulish twist on the traditional love story is generally being well received.
