Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì
Nightbooks—creepy flick for horror movie fans—serves fresh, creative entertainment fare that expands on the Hansel and Gretel fairytales. The costuming, makeup, background staging, and special effects are especially outstanding and original. Terrific new acting talent coming up can be seen in the character interpretations performed by Winslow Fegley and Lydia Jewett. The movie moves along well with no flagging in entertainment value.
