Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

Don't make it too scary. I don't want to spook you with my review. Or give you nightmares. Or bad dreams of your childhood. Like people coming to suck your eyeballs out at night. Like in this film. Where someone tries to suck out the eyeballs of the children in the hallows, a little dark space in the woods. Its terrible. Its not nice to do that. I know it tastes like worms. Its just like goosebumps to me, you know. Like in the movie. When Mr. Shivers turns out to be the Goosebumps author R.L. Stein who invented all those monsters to terrorise people who made fun of him as a child. But the monsters get out of hand so he had to trap them in the scripts he keeps locked in his library. Written with his magic type writer. But when Zack dropped the book he accidentally unleashed the abominable snow man.

In this movie there is also the book 'A Peculiar history'. I like the cover. Its not like the books in goosebumps, but has the truth and the history of the children in it. The film was also based on a series of books by Ransom Riggs. About the secrets of the children with their magical powers. I don't know what their secret is. I love mysteries.

The original book was a mix of fiction and photography, collected from real photographs of children. They were from flea markets. Maybe thats where the idea of the creepy toys came from that the child collects in the film. Enoch is the boy who can re-animate dead things in the film, and makes the toys come to life, as well as dead people, remember the surgery they were doing on the hearts? Its a bit like the author who was imagining that all the children in those photos have special powers. He fixes them so that they can move around, bringing them back to life. Like on Toy Story, Sid Phillips collected all these creepy things.

Hugh has bees living inside him. Fiona can make plants, like the huge carrots, grow with her hands, how does she do that? She has strong muscles to lift up that huge carrot! And the invisible boy. And these weird twins with the white bandages on them. And another girl with the mouth in the back of her head, with the weird teeth, and another girl can set herself on fire, what's her name. And who is that guy who has hologram lights inside his eyes? And Emma is my favourite peculiar character that. My parents chose that name for me. I'm not that Peculiar though. I have a good heart, I don't have any special powers. She can float, and breathe air under water. I can't do that. Can you? I don't know how she can. She's heartbroken you know in the story. I just love her you know. She's very kind and sweet, and very kind with animals like that squirrel in the tree when she's floating up there with the rope. I'm good with nature and goddesses, roses and flowers as well. Its quite hard to do that isn't it. With that boy Jake when they reveal their feelings to each other at the end, and they take it very well. And they kissed. In the boat. Its so romantic. It was an old ruined cruise ship, similar to the titanic, but they sail into the next time loop.

And that teacher too. She's a type of bird, isn't she, a breed of bird. Maybe you could get one for a pet. Just like in Harry Potter when Professor Mcgonagall transforms into a cat. These are types of witches aren't they, supernatural. They are strong witches in films aren't they. I can give those stars as well. I'll just give them five out of six. Just like Margret and David talking about what they like, and their differences, they are quite serious about it. Reviewing films like Halloween. Thats another one that's spooky for kids, and sometimes for me as well. I watched violent films at uni as well and I don't like it. Like Blade Runner. She is a smoker and a villain as well. Like a film noir. Its a little little bit too revealing, a little bit too much information about the blood and the killing. I just stay outside and wait for it to finnish.
