In addition to the special effects, the rest are disappointing

Except for special effects and background music, the acting skills and unexpected plot of the little protagonist are really embarrassing.

The story of "Tick House" is actually similar to "Harry Potter". It is also a magical beginner who leads the audience into a magical world, but the difference is that the home field of this movie is not magic. The academy is a seemingly mysterious and gloomy "Tick House", in which "Tick House" should undoubtedly be considered qualified for film production alone, whether it is a restoration of the past era or a darkened creative style. In fact, we can see the subtlety, but it is a pity that this kind of production has been defeated by the physics of the plot and the weakness of the characters.

    Outdated existence: The film follows the children's adventure film mode of the 1980s and 1990s, and with almost no new character settings, except for some of the bad tastes that Eli Rose still retains after being recruited, you can't feel it. A hint of mood swings.

    No novelty children's adventure fantasy film, mixed with infiltrating lens and beautiful design, creep. All acting skills are off the line.

  • Lewis Barnavelt: This all feels weird.

    Florence Zimmerman: What's wrong with weird? Weird's like the nuts in my cookies. It's the nuts that make things interesting.

  • Lewis Barnavelt: So, how long have you lived next door to Uncle Jonathan?

    Florence Zimmerman: Oh, we've been friends forever, ever since I came here. Ran here, actually. From Paris. After the War.

    Florence Zimmerman: [notices Lewis giving her a sly grin] And NO, to answer that look you're giving me, your uncle and I aren't anything kissy-faced.

    Jonathan Barnavelt: [in another room, but he overheard that] Gross!
