Under Wraps | 2021 Halloween Movies

October 17, 2021 Cassandra Morgan

There is this period of time where I was too old to watch Disney Channel movies and my daughter wasn’t born yet so there were no children in the house either. As a result, there is a chunk of movies from the late-1990s that I am not familiar with. The original version of Under Wraps is one of those movies. Now that I know that the 2021 version is a remake, I feel a little silly getting so excited seeing a new Halloween movie on Disney’s roster.

Marshall (Malachi Barton) is a 12-year old boy obsessed with horror movies and monsters. During a school field trip, he learns about a mummy that was stolen in route to the local museum. The museum has the female mummy but not her true love. Marshall with his best friend, Gilbert (Christian J Simon), and new friend, Amy (Sophia Hammons), find the stolen mummy in the basement of Marshall’s weird neighbor. The mummy, who Marshall names Harold (Phil Wright), comes to life when the moonlight hits his amulet but he only has three days to get back to his true love…and his coffin…before he turns to dust.

I know I’m not the target audience for this movie. Especially since it’s a fairly standard Disney Channel Original Movie (aka DCOM). However, of the DCOM that I am familiar with, this one wasn’t awful. There were some cute throwbacks to other Disney media that I do know. They played the remake of China Anne McClain’s song “Calling All The Monsters” from the A.N.T. Farm series. And I’m pretty sure I saw a couple of the characters from the DCOM Zombies. That definitely made me pay a little more attention to the movie than I normally would have.

While I do think Under Wraps is watchable, I think it really is intended for a younger audience. I bet kids in the 8-13 age range would probably get some enjoyment out of the movie. Or if you really, really like watching DCOMs, I suppose. But there are definitely some better kid-appropriate movies out there this year. Unless you are hooked on watching a Disney movie, I would say skip this and watch Nightbooks instead.
