A film for all ages!

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2006)

I enjoy comfort sometimes. My idea of comfort sometimes is to sit in my living room on a windy autumn evening eating bread and cheese and sipping hot soup while reading a good book.
This movie is all comfort for me, like the Harry Potter series. The gore is usually comical and the mood is just right, and the scenery is very well done. I'm no history buff, but I remember reading ghost tales when i was young, and this is precisely what I was imagining!
This isn't a good story for younger children, unlike other Burton films, I believe they will find it too disturbing. Too bad, because in keeping with the traditions of European/American fokelore, this film has a quality that tends to stick with you. The actors are so adept that you would have to struggle to not be drawn into the movie.
Again, another permanent addition to my movie library. Watch it if you haven't seen it.
