“…a well-crafted family thriller that is truly scary and doesn't wimp out.”—Roger Ebert
Freddie Highmore plays twin brothers, brought by their family to an inherited estate. The discovery of an old book in a secret attic takes the twins (and their tough older sister) into a realm of strange and fanciful creatures. But they soon run afoul of a shapeshifting ogre who will do anything to possess the magic book. Based on the popular series of fantasy novels, this film is ideal for both parents and older children.
