Director : Chris Butler & Sam Fell
Running Time : 93 mins
Norman Babcock (Smit-McPhee) has the uncanny ability of being able to speak with the dead, but other than his new friend Neil (Albrizzi), nobody believes him. When he hears of an annual ritual that he has to undertake in order to protect his town of Blithe Hollow from the vengeful spirit of a murdered witch, Norman is forced to take up the challenge. Unfortunately, things do not go according to plan.
This feels like a Tim Burton / Henry Sellick movie, due to its dark storyline and its colourful and spooky characters. The two leads look like something out of Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, and the ghosts are imaginative, and what is essentially a movie about an outcast kid saving his town from destruction is well thought through and features some well-rounded and reality grounded characters.
