The moment the Grace family moves into the dilapidated Spiderwick Estate, strange things begin to happen. Jared is a curious, adventurous boy who quickly seeks out and finds the hidden laboratory of his great great uncle Arthur Spiderwick. He unleashes a mysterious force when he locates a field guide full of the secrets of the magical creatures that inhabit the forest surrounding the mansion. His twin brother Simon is calm and reserved. He is the intellectual twin, but is rapidly drawn into the fantastical world of fairies and goblins. Older sister Mallory and their mom are harder to convince, but after the almighty and ruthless ogre leader Mulgarath begins to attack the home, the entire family must band together to combat the hordes of goblins and creatures that lurk just outside.

KInd of weird submitted by honordenver on July 2, 2011, 3:17pm A weird movie with a lot of weird characters.

Fantastic! submitted by lec.dank on July 28, 2012, 9:14am I've read the whole series and I have to say the way they but this in a movie is fantastic. Sometimes, the books are WAY better then the movies, in this case, both are amazing.

Spiderwick Chronicles submitted by SBNB on June 18, 2014, 11:30am It was ok. I wouldn't watch it again.

Solid Three Stars submitted by Avliss on July 16, 2017, 9:04pm A fairly decent book-to-movie adaptation (although I only read the first Spiderwick book). If you're interested in fae creatures, you may want to check it out.
