Nancy Drew embarks on her lamest adventure yet in Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase. After hearing that an old woman’s house is haunted young super-sleuth Nancy Drew offers to investigate, and makes a new friend in the process. Sophia Lillis (of It fame) takes on the titular role of Nancy Drew, but is a little too happy-go-lucky; particularly given that the character’s recently lost her mother. And, there’s never any real sense that she’s ever in danger or could fail to solve the mystery. Also, the mystery itself is rather doubt and Scooby-Doo-ish; with ghosts and nefarious businessmen. Hockey and uninspired, Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase is yet another failed attempt to re-launch the franchise.
