![]() Review: Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Childre. ![]() Review: Black Ice by Andrew Lane (Young Sherlock H.This is one monster that you really do not want in your dreams! Like Spielberg and Scott, Lindsey Barraclough does not suffer the fate that has befallen many who have come before her - when we do finally get to 'see' Long Lankin there is no disappointment, or lessening in the terror factor - in fact, if anything, it is increased even further. Similarly with Ridley Scott's Alien, with the eponymous monster remaining in the shadows for much of the film. Jaws is such a great film because Spielberg couldn't use his animatronic shark in the open sea and therefore had to rewrite the script and make it more character based and by the time we do finally see the slightly unrealistic looking shark our terror levels are so high that we don't care about total realism. I have read/watched a number of otherwise great horror books/films that have been ruined at the moment that the 'monster' is revealed to us, and I guess it is something that authors and directors work very hard at, and possibly get quite nervous about. ![]()
