This weekend marks the premiere of Tim Burton’s latest film Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. I’ve heard the movie is decent but haven’t seen it for myself, though the premise is pretty intriguing. The set-up is essentially X-Men but clothed in Tim Burton’s horror obsessions rather than the colorful palette of mid-‘70s superhero aesthetics.
Basically it’s a movie where a bunch of horror infused super children are brought together to defend their existence from a bigoted outer world. That’s an interesting and worthwhile idea, a fact I mainly know because it’s already been turned into a great horror/dark fantasy flick: Clive Barker’s Nightbreed.
