It appeals to both adults and children. I think that this a true family film.
Because these days almost any film is a good film. The alternative is to watch some of the mindless trivia that passes for Television with all the shouting and screaming and drummed-up applause. Rant over!

My girls are 11 and 14. I already know the eldest won’t be interested as it isn’t scary enough but from the trailer I know my husband will happily sit with the 11 year old to watch it
