A very dark young adult film - I went in knowing nothing about the movie or the book it was based on. Started out very mediocre and it felt like a bad Harry Potter rip-off. I was pleasantly surprised when the second act came around and things actually started to get interesting and creepy; as if H.P. Lovecraft wrote a young adult novel.
But like the previous comment said, the final act is a mess. It felt jumbled, rushed and in disarray as if the movie kinda gave up and needed a way to resolve the story. And the odd shifts in tone really confused me - you go from horror to small bits of comedy to sympathy all in a span of 10 minutes. Very confusing.
An interesting take on the young adult genre and the second act is very well executed but this is not worth going to the theater to see. Definitely not for younger children as it is pretty scary and dark. 5 years 7 months ago
