criticism
The lexicon of international films could not gain much from the film adaptation and qualified it as "undemanding, trivial (television) family entertainment", [...] which "vaguely lean on Kurt Hoffmann's hit comedy The Spooky Castle in Spessart (1960) [e]".
TV Spielfilm recalled "the wonderful Liselotte powder grusical Das Spukschloss im Spessart from 1960", which the film was based on and was of the opinion that only the bad gags would scare with this slapstick stuff. "Only the trick technology pulls it out to some extent." Conclusion: "The ghosts are willing, but the jokes are cheap."
Also Rainer Tittelbach of tittelbach.tv slating the film 2.5 out of 6 stars were and drew the following conclusion: "The spirits along with modern animation techniques are quite funny for kids - adults, however, have foregone Kasperletheater nostalgics would be to come up with It's fun to follow this gruesome, irony-free genre mix of romantic comedy, children's films and scary clothes. "
