Don't believe the naysayers - many of whom seem to be obsessed with a movie from the 70's which was pretty inferior. Not a "classic".
This is a kids film and, as a kids film, it works really well. It's well made, well directed, well cast & with great production values given the budget.
A cut above many other "kids" movies. It's refreshing to see something that is Uk centric & has a ghost story/mystery element. Not every kids movie has to be animated, feature superheroes & dumb down to reach as broad an audience as possible....
The charm & the skill of this is to present a different story up kids . Look at it for what it is & imagine yourself 8-10 years old & it's great! Really liked it a lot.
