I'm also not sure why they are referred to as Wights when in human form when again, essentially.they are still peculiars.

Not sure why they all look the same or why they look like large demonic Jack Skellington's? Probably because Tim Burton directed the movie (or maybe they look like that in the book). I'm not sure why they are called Hollowgasts though, considering they are merely disfigured peculiars. Now they hunt down peculiars for their eyes (yes eyes) because some how that enables them to retain human form. Barron who's power is shapeshifting), but the failed experiment disfigured them. Why would shooting bees out of your mouth be of any use unless you lived in a Nintendo platform game.Īs for the bad guys, they were all peculiars originally I think (including Mr. I get that's all part of the story but it just comes across as odd that the author would give half the kids solid powers and the other half useless powers, so useless to the point that those characters needn't even be in the book. Four of them seem utterly useless to me frankly, in fact I wouldn't even call them paranormal powers but more circus freaks. So whilst most of this X-Kids team have some pretty sweet special powers that would obviously come in handy in times of peril. Yeah well these two little terrors can do just that and have to wear masks all the time. You know, a creature that can turn living things into stone, Medusa. And finally the two very young twins (no names apparently) who are both in fact gorgons.

Claire Densmore has a mouth full of razor sharp teeth.on the back of her head. The you have Hugh Apiston is a little boy in his stomach.what now? Pretty bizarre and useless power here methinks. Fiona Frauenfeld can control plant life, so she's basically Poison Ivy. Bronwyn Bruntley is a little girl with superhuman strength, highly useful power. Millard Nullings is the invisible boy, say no more, highly useful power. Olive Abroholos Elephanta (say what?) is pyrokinetic meaning she's basically Pyro from the X-Men. Enoch O'Connor can resurrect the dead and make inanimate objects come to life, very useful. Emma Bloom is aerokinetic, meaning she can manipulate air, breathe under water and she floats because she's lighter than air oddly. Notably there are characters that clearly play an important role in the movie with their powers, and others that do not. And if any of this sounds familiar.yes it is indeed exactly the same notion as Marvels X-Men. Its the classic narrative, the kids have special powers which are seen as negative in the film, but to you the viewer they come across as actually being really cool. Now even though society has discriminated against these kids, rejected them out of fear, their powers are clearly of benefit to them.

So lets take a quick look at the peculiar children (children with paranormal abilities). They consume the eyes which enable them to retain their powers and human form (which apparently makes them 'Wights'). These monsters led by Barron hunt down 'peculiars' (or 'Ymbrynes') for their eyes. Jake also learns of monsters called Hollowgasts (disfigured peculiars) led by the evil shapeshifter Mr.

Turns out the school and its students all live within an infinite time loop (the same day in 1943), created by Miss Peregrine, where they never age, solely to avoid persecution from the outside world. Jake discovers that the old school was destroyed during WWII, but through a set of mysterious (this word will pop up a lot) circumstances which include a time portal, Jake goes back to 1943. After his grandfather dies in a very disturbing way Jake travels to Wales to look for the school, following instructions from his grandfather. So, very briefly, the film is set in Wales of all places and sees young boy Jake (Asa Butterfield) learning about the mysterious school for peculiar children from his grandfather.

So it was of no surprise to me at all that Tim Burton ended up directing this movie (which is almost a rip-off of his 'Oyster Boy' book in part). Funnily enough a quirky little book about weird monstrous children by the one and only Tim Burton. At the same time it also got me thinking along the lines of The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories. The title of the movie (and book) is admittedly pretty cool, indeed the whole vibe I got from this movie did kinda remind me of the 2004 movie 'Lemony Snicket's A Serious of Unfortunate Events'. I guess there's no reason why I should have heard of it though seeing as I am neither a young adult or teen, I digress. K so this movie is of course yet another adaptation of a young adult/teen book that I've never heard of.
