The Evil Fairy Queen

This is a very enjoyable (mostly) family friendly horror film. The horror is mild enough for most children to watch whilst giving everyone some fun little scares. It treats children like adults with interesting themes found in real life. The characters are really strong, realistic and engaging. They feel like real people unlike most fantasy films. The music is really beautiful, the butterfly scene is a particular highlight where the emotions of the film meet with the music to build a perfect cinematic moment. Visually it looks great, nice and vibrant but not off-putting. It is cinematic and has a simple style so it's not distracting or impressive. I feel for a fantasy movie it could have had more fantastical elements like massive fantasy worlds and creatures. The last 30 minutes are very exciting, the first hour could have been a bit better paced but I don't think most people would notice. Overall it's an excellent and entertaining fantasy film grounded with relatable characters.
