I grew up watching horror movies and perhaps that's what made this book less enjoyable for me. Every Friday my sister and I would watch Svenghoolie or Son of Svenghoolie or Elvira host some horror night on TV. I've watched Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (stupid, but silly), some of the first Dracula movies, and Silence of the Lambs and this was definitely not horror, and, in my humble opinion, not particularly scary. Maybe it wasn't supposed to be? I've also watched X-Files and Doctor Who (both old and new) and those, I feel, contain characters that are more interesting. From the description, I thought it might be more like the Spiderwick Chronicles, which I absolutely adored, but I didn't see anything new in this book. Even the evil creatures with the tentacle coming out of their mouths has been done. There are at least 2 movies that sported them, I think one is The Corrupted. I'm going to add a picture at the bottom of my review of the movie poster. If I can find the other poster, I'll try to display it as well.Lisareneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06911951577285957423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308657541707141162.post-6199908900680006802012-04-07T14:23:29.434-04:002012-04-07T14:23:29.434-04:00I enjoyed this one, sorry you didn't.
