Taken from IMBD

Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children is the movie adaption of the popular children’s novel trilogy by the same name. Although having received moderate reviews from the box office, it is an exciting adaption on a thrilling, funny, and creepy series.

The story tells of a boy Jacob who is close with his grandfather and distant with his parents. After his grandfather is found dead Jacob experiences anxiety and can not sleep prompting his parents to have him visit a psychiatrist. Based on stories his grandfather told him as a boy, Jacob travels to a small island off Wales where a children’s home is located that his grandfather grew up in. There he meets a group of peculiar children each with magic powers and a group of people trying to hunt them.

The movie does a good job keeping with the original plot of the story, with few alterations except in the case of the two main female characters, whose powers are switched. The movie does a great job of keeping the audience entertained and in suspense without jump scares or bad effects. The “bad guys” are also well done being creepy enough to maintain the original spookiness of the book without being enough to scare children.

There have been talks of a sequel by Tim Burton, the director of the film, and his production company.
