A monster box office success - in part because I think people were in the mood, but also the immense power of its source material. My eight year old daughter was all over this she badgered me to see it.
It's fine. Acting adequate. Great to see Mary Stuart Masterton. I like Matthew Lilliard was in a hit. There's two teen girl characters who seem keen on Josh Hutcherson, who I thought was the girl's father but turns out to be older brother. Elizabeth Lail brings a lot of heart.
Direction is adequate but the animatronic creatures are a little spooky. There's a lot of Steven King vibes to it including a young kid with sort of psychic/special powers.
