Alien at the Movies

Sketch

This is a fantasy adventure where a young girl’s sketchbook fall into a magical pool & her drawings come to life & terrorize the town. Tony Hale plays Taylor Wyatt, a widower/father of Amber & Jack. This family is having difficulties dealing with the death of their wife/mother. Amber is channeling her stresses by drawing these imaginary monster creatures… directing her anxieties to her inbox instead using her outbox (lashing out at others). Taylor & Jack are so focused on Amber’s behavior that they don’t see their own difficulties. See how these characters try to fight off these imaginary & possibly dangerous creatures. I️ did like the kids’ point of view of dealing with their dilemma. What seems like a fun family film may be too dark & scary for the little kiddies as the movie gives off a strong horror vibe.

Alien gives it 3½ “Dave, Eye-ders, & Other Sketchy Creatures” stars out of 4.
