MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of fantasy action/violence and peril.
What it's about: Based on a young adult novel, this film tells the story of a fantastical home for kids with oddities and special powers, pursued by dark forces of evil.
The kid attractor factor: Kids will be drawn to the young adult genre, youthful cast and the fantastical Tim Burton aesthetic.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Everyone's unique qualities make them special and strong, when used in the right way, always protect those in your care, work together, and believe in those nighttime fairy tales.
Violence: Horrific, eye-ball eating monsters pursue the kids, who battle them off with different techniques _ fire, re-animated skeletons, gale force winds.
Language: None
Sexuality: A rather chaste teen kiss.
Drugs: Just parental beer drinking at the pub.
Parents advisory: This is a charmingly dark tale about preternaturally gifted and different children, appropriate for older kids and teens but too scary for smaller children.
