Jake’s grandfather dies in rather peculiar circumstances, leaving behind a series of bizarre clues that Jake struggles to understand. Putting the pieces together, he decides to travel to a Welsh island in search of the truth. There, he discovers Miss Peregrine and her peculiar children, eventually realising that he too has a special ability. He must then help save them from terrifying monsters who are hunting them down to eat their eyes. Adapted from the novel by Ransom Riggs, the film blends dark fantasy with an intriguing exploration of time, which can be manipulated and distorted in various ways. It’s quite entertaining, although the implications of the time shifts are sometimes difficult to grasp. Having seen the film, I’m now even more curious to read the book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
