    Yes it's for children but...
    I will state that it shouldn't be watched by small children, maybe tweenies would be a better fit. Personally I enjoyed the movie, it reminded me of spider wick and Ronald Dahl's witches all in one. So as far as I'm concerned it's a notch up from some of the brainless trash kids are subjected to watch nowadays. I found the child actors on par and the acting was not bad. Neither were the sets and it was visually appealing. Again I must state that it should be PG rated and is not suitable for small children as some of the scenes may be a little scary for youngsters. Really enjoyed this as an adult.

    Better than I expected
    REVIEW - NIGHTBOOKS

    Scrolling through one evening and in the new releases I came across this, saying it's a kids fantasy horror I became interested how you could possibly have a fantasy horror film for children so......

    Actually very pleasantly surprised as a very original story with a young boy being kidnapped by a witch, the young boy writing horror stories being told he must write an original horror story every night to read to the witch or she would kill him.

    Unknown but which becomes apparent during the film these stories hold another meaning.

    Very original story with enough twists and turns that certainly kept me interested to actually say I enjoyed this child's fantasy horror and I'm an adult.

    One to certainly give a try, one to certainly sit with you're children and watch, horror family time, what else could you ask for especially in time for Halloween.

    Rating 7 out of 10.
