    Only about 20 minutes in and of course the main character is listing off her fears and "climate change and inequality." Are the fears. This movie also didn't seem appropriate for kids, a red solo cup party? Really? Clear cups should of been used. The flirting between these children (the mean girl and the protagonists love interest) made me uncomfortable I didn't like the caressing of his face etc.

    Terrible waste of time. I would say at least kids will enjoy it, but even my 8-year-old wasn't impressed. (Also, I can't imagine the amount of brainwashing it takes to make a 15-year-old actually afraid of "inequality" and "climate change" as the main character was...it hurts me)

    it was very entertaining. never too scary, but still might make you say "ah!". good movie for the whole family, and we always watch it after trick or treating. 👍

    I didn't even recognise Tom Felton - I mean damn - his acting is first class to say the least - great movie great acting - a mixture of the Afterdark Princess (a series of books I enjoyed as a child) and Insidious (the only horror movie I've managed to sit all the way through) sprinkle in some comedic value and you have yourself a tame-ish movie for kids to enjoy and maybe even be introduced slightly into scarier genres My 4 year old loves this movie and we've watched it together 4 or 5 times in the last 3 days from their request alone. The casting diversity is fantastic our heroine being a young black woman - her passion for STEM subjects is also incredibly important - the conflict and resolution while predictable is understandable for a movie aimed at children and the subtle sequel set ups are appreciated for sure - not to mentioned the special effects in the movie aren't cheesy or overly realistic. The Toadies provide a much needed comic relief. I hope so very much that there will be a sequel!

    The kid actors are excellent, the premise is super simple and fun and classic (not every imaginary world nowadays has to be ridiculously complex), the design is colorful and energetic. Excellent for kids and a fun watch for adults.

    Entretenida, suficientemente emocionante para niños sin llegar a ser aterradora, la recomiendo para un primer acercamiento a las peliculas de acción y emoción infantiles

    Bad editing the antagonists death was very (in my opinion) very quick and clean I also personally think that the weird monster markings on the girls face when she was flying through the air or something were unneeded and cringe

    Had potential to do more - but felt like it was mostly setup for a trilogy. Wish they'd leaned more into the campiness.
