From the visionary mind of Tim Burton (Big Eyes, Alice in Wonderland), Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is an adaptation of the popular series of children’s books by Ransom Riggs. The film stars Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, Chris O’Dowd, Allison Janney, Rupert Everett, Terence Stamp, Ella Purnell, Judi Dench, and Samuel L. Jackson.

When Jake discovers clues to a mystery that spans alternate realities and times, he uncovers a secret refuge known as Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jake learns about the residents and their unusual abilities, he realizes that safety is an illusion, and danger lurks in the form of powerful, hidden enemies. Jake must figure out what is real, who can be trusted, and who he really is.

“As a child you never really forget those feelings of being different. They stay with you forever,” he explains. “I was branded as being ‘peculiar’ because as a child I loved monster movies. So you go through things like that in your childhood and sometimes even later in life. There are a lot of people out there who feel that way.”

Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children is rated PG.
