But, for the most part, the filmmakers just said, ‘You know what’s super cool? RANDOM NEW CGI MONSTERS.’ Those new CGI monsters would be awesome if they actually furthered the plot or bore any resemblance to their book counterparts but, alas, it was not to be.īefore I go any further, I’ll warn you that I’ve only read the first book in Joseph Delaney’s The Wardstone Chronicles. Some little references remain, like Mother Malkin’s blood cakes, Alice’s pointy shoes, and the character of Tusk. The movie in general seems to be more of a nod to the book than an adaptation. And sometimes you get something like Seventh Son, which takes an enjoyable book and turns it into a movie that could probably be described by many as mediocre or even laughable. It’s been a while since I’ve watched an adaptation where the book’s plot has just been thrown out the window in the opening sequence. His first great challenge comes when the powerful Mother Malkin escapes her confinement while the Spook is away. Young Thomas is apprenticed to the local Spook to learn to fight evil spirits. This book to film comparison contains spoilers.
