Comment
A young girl (Bailee Madison) is sent by her mother to live with her father (Guy Pearce) and his girl friend (Katie Holmes) who live in an old house. The house used to be owed by an artist who disappeared and when she discovers a basement, she uncovers creatures living there but cannot persude the adults about their reality. This film from Guillermo del Torro has parts of good suspense and few good scenes with the creatures, but is not his best work. There is a lack of depth in the characters which limits the films appeal as it is hard to empathise with them
