Movies to watch this week at the cinema: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, Under the Shadow, Swiss Army Man, more.. A match made in Hollywood heaven, surely, pairing the Godfather of Gothic Fantasy with Ransom Rigg’s eccentric YA mega- bestseller, in which a houseful of mutant children battle monstrous adversaries? Yet Tim Burton’s charmingly creepy take on this time- travelling tale is less a marriage, more an enchanting high- end makeover. For there’s so much here that resonates with Burton’s back catalogue. Alienated suburban teen hero Jake (Asa Butterfield) who flees Florida for a remote Welsh island at the story’s start, is your classic Burton boy. His grandfather Abe’s been mysteriously murdered, and the timorous Jake is determined to find out if the Peculiar children he spoke of are an old man’s fairy tales (remember Big Fish?) or a vital clue. When Miss Peregrine’s mutant charges whisk him back to 1. Groundhog Day- style), their plight, as well as their turreted mansion echoes Edward Scissorhands. As Jake takes up Abe’s challenge to protect the Peculiars from the monstrous Wights who seek to suck out their immortality, it throws in YA emotional angst, Hugo- style retro innocence, and dark Harry Potter- ish scares. But Burton’s rich style, and surprisingly sincere tone draw it all together skilfully. Unlike Alice in Wonderland and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which brought wild fantasy, surreal colour, and OTT performances into classic kid- lit, this film creates a real- world feel alongside its fantastical episodes. Jake’s tentative first- love with the feisty, free- floating air- controlling Emma (Ella Purnell) has proper teen awkwardness. Its heightened reality neatly balances out the film’s weirder black comedy, like the murderous gladiatorial doll battles of Enoch the re- animator. Rationing the glimpses of the horror at the film’s heart, the towering, tentacled Hollowgasts (. Till then, the film is busy creating some stunning set pieces showing off Peculiar skills, like the vast underwater den that Emma’s breath creates from a sunken WW1 steamship. Or time- manipulator Miss Peregrine’s gleeful nightly re- setting of a fiery German air- raid, where the whirling slo- mo bombs rewind along with the hands of her clock. VERDICT: Hugely charming if somewhat cluttered, Burton’s horror- spiked YA freaks- and- a- geek fantasy proves a Home run for Asa Butterfield. There’s nothing sleepy about these .
