Finished watching Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, directed by Tim Burton and staring Asa Butterfield, Terence Stamp, Alison Janney, Chris O'Dowd, Eva Green and Samuel L. Jackson. The film opens up with shop assistant Jake Portman (Asa Butterfield) receiving a call at work from his grandfather Abe (Terence Stamp) who Jake is very close to begins to worry about him and once Jake finds himself at his grandfather's home he finds out that Abr has been kill by a monster. This leads to Jake being in therapy with doctor Golan (Alison Janney) for the next three weeks and when Jake receives a gift from late grandfather he and his father (Chris O'Dowd) travel to Wales under a he suggestion of Jake's doctor in hope to find closer only for Jake to find Miss Peregrine's (Eva Green) house that is within a time loop that protects the children see is looking after form any danger. Overall this was a good film as it explore the relationship that Jake has with is grandfather extremely well by making it very relatable while also giving the children of the home some nice development thanks to the interactions they have with Jake and the journey they go on within the film. The villain of Mr Barron (Samuel L. Jackson) doesn't get a lot of screen time but what actor Samuel L. Jackson brings to the character makes him a villain that rivals the children and Miss Peregrine thanks to his performance and the storytelling. The special effects are great as the look and feel very much like the stop motion effects that director Tim Burton has been know for and also works perfectly in sync with the more conventional special effects. 7/10.
