From the moment the Grace family moves into a secluded old house peculiar things start to happen. Unable to explain the accidents and strange disappearances, the Grace children Jared, Simon and Mallory start to investigate and find the unbelievable truth of the Spiderwick Estate and the amazing creatures that inhabit it.

Starring Sarah Bolger (“Tara Road”) and Freddie Highmore (“August Rush”), Andrew McCarthy (“Lipstick Jungle”), Izabella Miko (“Coyote Ugly”), Mary-Louise Parker (“Weeds”), Joan Plowright (“Bringing Down The House”) and David Strathairn (“The Bourne Ultimatum”), as well as voice work by Nick Nolte, Seth Rogan, and Martin Short, The Spiderwick Chronicles movie uses pieces of books 1, 2, and 5 to weave together the plot. The 2-Disc Special Edition has Special Features on both Discs, including “It’s a Spiderwick World”, “Making Spiderwick”, Deleted Scenes and more.

A word of caution-very young children might find this movie frightening. Mulgarath has a big mouth full of sharp pointy teeth, and there are several scenes where the children see the creatures and scream loudly. It’s rated PG for “Scary creature action and violence, peril and some thematic elements”. So please use judgement when showing this movie to youngsters. Older kids will enjoy it even if they haven’t read the books! But hey, it’s summer, and the books are probably at the library and are definitely at the bookstore, so why not have your kids read them!
