With a name like They Came from Upstairs, I was half expecting something akin to The People Under the Stairs - some horrific movie about people being haunted by denizens of their own house. Imagine my surprise when the trailer unveiled a much more family friendly adventure - something akin to a combination of The Spiderwick Chroncicles and Small Soldiers.

Most people are going to be excited about Upstairs because it co-stars High School Musical’s Ashley Tisdale. And why not be excited about that? The actress has to do something post HSM. For me, I’ll be excited about another Kevin Nealon showing. The man is doing some great work recently, so why should The Came from Upstairs be any different?
