I can't believe that Spiderwick is labeled as children's literature I would like to know in what alternate universe that Spiderwick is a child's story.
I went to the movie and it scared the panties off of me and I do not scare easy.
A family that fights evil together remains together and this is one kick ass family minus the father because he was to busy playing hide the salami with another woman which is typical a man leaves his family for another woman it is a very tiring theme.
The circle of protection was semi aqurate once it is cast the only one that can break the circle is the person who cast it.
And the griffen was a totally rip off of the griffen that they used in the third Harry Potter movie it seems that there are a lot of movies out there that are ripping off things from Harry Potter wither it is a creature or the actors playing the same characters but with different names.
Spiderwick was a real dark movie I think the adults who were there enjoyed it more then the children I wonder if the books are anything like the movie.
