(4 out of 5) Surprisingly, I thought this was a good movie. At first I thought it would be average, or since it being a Nickelodeon movie, downright bad, but I was wrong. I try to give movies a chance, every movie,except horror movies, I don’t like those. I haven’t read any of the books but since I’ve watched this awesome movie, I’m going to now. After I read them you might want to recheck this review, cause I don’t know if the movie followed the books or not, and if it doesn’t I might have to take it down a half a point or maybe a full point.

Anyway, the plot goes twin brothers Jared and Simon, along with their sister Mallory and their mother, move away from the big city to a mansion owned by their uncle. When a series of strange happenings suggest that Jared may be causing a number of disturbances, the siblings band together to figure out what is going on. Soon they discover the magical history of the property.They soon find a book that unleashes the truth, which makes them see the magical world around them. They also find out that magical beasts want the book, especially a troll named Morgarath.

The creatures in the movie were really well done and there were some comedic moments in it. The movie is not too long or too short, but just right. I’ll probably be getting this movie on DVD, it was that good. I recommend you rent this movie.
