I'm not a fan of Jack Black but this was enjoyable, Eli Roth has taken a step back from his usual blood and guts side to a family friendly movie but still has a dark gothic tone.
Jack Black and Cate Blanchett play the wizardly neighbours who seem to bicker and hurl insults at each other like a married couple. The film looks great as it's set in the 1950s with good special effects and funny moments and a good small appearance by Kyle MacLachlan blends in the darker magic. 8 out of 10. |
If Tim Burton wants to stay in the PC world of elephants with big ears then Eli Roth would be the perfect candidate to replace him in the quirky Gothic style.
