Nightbooks was an excellent movie from start to end, however there is one gripe that I have with this movie such as the pacing of the film however this doesn't ruin the experience.
Kristen Ridder did a phenomenal job as Natacha, and the overall quality of her performance shows through her deliverance especially with her terrifying "witch crackle".
The young actors were a perfect fit for this movie, Winsley who has visceral sense of fear that is felt during his performance. Not to mention Lydia who also does an incredible job with showcasing her emotions.

A good horror movie to watch with the kids. It wasn't too scary nor too lame even for older children to sit down on and appreciate. For an adult alone, well that's the a whole different scenario as I was kinda bored in some parts, waiting for some real action to begin.
But the story and actors were altogether fun to watch. There was a uniqueness in the plot that will leave your kids in awe and would probably stay focused on the tv and not the snacks alone.
Kristen Ritter doesn't seem to have aged, suitable for her being a witch in this movie.

Me and my 6 and 9 year old have looked forward to this becoming available. So when movie night started tonight we were excited snacks ready, I LOVE a horror. So does my 9 year old. Rated pg I thought maybe my 6 year old would... within 20 minutes it was too much and she left!
Very enjoyable, but I'm glad she wasn't there especially for the last 30 minutes very scary ! I think caution should be taken. Saying that, my 9 year old loved it! I actually did too.
Finally a decent scary movie that's not full of over the top gore or violence!

The plot was way too naive and flat for older children or adults and set up too scary for smaller children, so I'm not sure which audience this flick was made for, it surely wasn't for me.
This movie have a lot of scary moment. Although it look like for family sitting and watching together. It's so scary to think if that situation happened to me. So it's okay to waste your time.

- TriviaThe song "Cry Little Sister", the theme song to the 1987 Vampire film The Lost Boys (the movie playing on the TV that entices Alex into the apartment), is heard twice. The first time, when Alex and Yasmin perform their science experiment, it is performed by original artist Gerard McMahon. The second time, when Alex and Yasmin are in the boiler room, it is a cover version performed by Chvrches.
- Quotes
Yasmin: Weird? Who called you that? --- Well, they're right. You are weird. I mean, look at you. The thing that makes you weird makes them ordinary, and nobody likes to be ordinary because ordinary sucks. So ordinary people are going to try and take that away from you by calling you names like... try hard or...
Alex: Or creepshow
Yasmin: Yeah, or creepshow.
