The movie started with a single Mom and her kids (Grace family) moving into a spooky old mansion that once owned by their great-great uncle.
One of the kids discovers a book that has been hidden for quite a long time and it was sealed with a note saying not to read it but obviously, Jared (Freddie Highmore, who played twins here) dismisses the note and continued reading the book. As he reads it, he realizes that his great-great uncle, Arthur Spiderwick, wrote it.
The book is entitled "Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You" where it describes in details these creatures' powers and other spells on how to defeat an evil ogre named Mulgarath, who desperately wants this book so he can assume power over the world.
The 7 year-old in me, almost screamed and got a little scared as Mulgrath and his followers attacked the Grace household when they found a way on how to destroy the magical spell that protects that very house where Jared and his family now lives. These goblins and other creatures are really that ugly and monstrous.
The young actors in this movie are just awesome and the movie paints a picture of the universe beyond us - of honey, tomatoes, fairies and more.
While the movie tells about how evil some creatures can get, it also features that good triumphs if we choose and work at it.
