There was once a family that moved house and didn't know about a curse that surrounded their new house. When they went inside they heard banging on the wall so they banged back but whoever was there banged back then it was like a patten. Eventually, the wall broke down! One of the boys went inside the hole and pulled himself up the lift with all his strength. At the top of the lift, He found a frightened little gnome and a this magic book which kept all of the mysterious secrets in it. On day, the other boy went outside of the house but if He went outside of the circle he would get attakted by loads of miniature goblins so that's what happened. He got dragged into the woods and the other boy who had been rushing to get him ran to save him. This film made me a bit scared when all of the miniature goblins attacked the family's house because I would definitely feel a little bit frightened if I was there! In this film, I also felt a little bit disgusted when the boy went up the lift and chopped three fingers off of the leader of the goblins hand who was ginormous! As well as that, it made me laugh when they were kicking the tiny goblins. "Hee Hee Hee!" My favourite moment was when the old lady transformed into a little girl and to live with her dad who was over one hundred but now he is only forty years old! I liked the music because if the scary moments are coming up the music is lower and so are the sound affects in the other hand, the happy moments had quieter music and more high music and a bit of drama. Also, when the creepy moments are coming up the music is more like boom and very loud! I wouldn't recommend his film to people who are under eight years of age because they might feel a little bit horrified and feel a little bit disgusted at the disgusting parts that they should not be watching. I would recommend this film to my dad because he likes scary films and likes to work out what will happen next. I also would recommend his film to people who like scary films and aren't going to puke at the disgusting parts. In my own opinion, I think that this film was quite predictable and unpredictable because when the old lady's father was over a hundred and then he turned into a forty year old man so the old lady must turn into a little girl and that's exactly what happened so that was quite predictable. Also when the boy who saved the other boy threw the mysterious book of spells in the fire it just floated back out and I thought that was really weird because I thought it was going to burn in seconds or maybe a minute or two.
