“This is a british flick that twists and boogies around many genres, its surtainly mystery,a little bit of comedy and adventure and most of all spooky and a hint of sheer horror. its said to be a family film, but i would have hesitated showing this to children under 6.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eits a widower and his 10 yrs old daughter who struggles to make a life out of nothing.,something goes really bad,and the surroundings becomes ominous and spooky. its a nightmare inside a nightmare of a nightmare that rides them both.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ethe highlight in this film is the girl at 10 portrayed by scarlett rayner, who has her rucksack full of talent,and a lot of the action gravitates around her.very good.rest of the cast are merely just there with hints of old greatness,and also some stiff and uncomfortable newbies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ethe technical product varies a lot, there are a few scenes that has been spiced up with some visuall effects, but they are really primitive. there are some nature shots that are smashing, rest is on average. the soundwork could at times have been better,but the sound effects plus a very well timed music gives you a thrill for sure. the story or fairytail are not of the memorable kind,and maybe a bit difficult to understand.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eby all means do view if you want to, there are a few surprises,but not enough for me to make a review. 4 is the most i can give……”
