The Spiderwick Chronicles




Based on the book with the same name by Holly Black and illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi, about how Jared Grace found a forbidden book discovering some secret about some fantasy creatures and its world and along with his twin brother Simon and their older sister Mallory, try to protect the book and defend their house from a dangerous ogre called Mulgurath with the help of the brownie Thimbletack.

A 97 minutes film from United States directed by Mark Waters and produced by Frank Marshall, Kathleen Kennedy, Karey Kirkpatrick and both writer and illustrator of the story. Music by composer James Horner.


I just watched it and it was fun, a very interesting experience but it was kind of predictable in some situations, I really liked the visual effects, specially the work with the twins... I didn't know it was the same actor when I read about the cast. You can't easily see the computer works, it looks more real. About the music, it was ok but a certainly piano melody reminds me so much to the Casper film, it was very similar so originality was missing by the composer and I was expecting greater music.
