Spiderwick

The Spiderwick Chronicles movie is based on the bestselling series of books The Spiderwick Chronicles written by Holly Black and illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi. I haven't read the books but I was really curious about the movie so I watched it.

Strange things occur the moment the Grace family (Jared, his twin brother Simon, sister Mallory and their mom) leave New York and move into the secluded old house of their great, great uncle Arthur Spiderwick. When Jared, Simon and Mallory investigate what's happening, they uncover the truth behind the Spiderwick book and of the fantastic creatures it describes.

Rated PG, the movie is quite a visual and storytelling treat for kids and even for adults.
