You're probably familiar with the basic premise of MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN, especially given that it follows a variation of X-Men. This time around, Jacob (Asa Butterfield) is the newcomer to Miss Peregrine's (Eva Green) Home, and in getting to know the residents and their special powers he also unravels a dangerous mystery.

Doesn't work for me, but I'm not ready to write off the film just yet.
MISS PREREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN opens on September 30, 2016.
