Two siblings discover a supernatural escape from a troubled home, but find their bond tested when reality threatens to tear their family apart.
Shipka – who has the most to do – is particularly captivating, but strong performances across the board render this a frequently involving and moving experience, with the endearing chemistry between the screen siblings making their bond wholly believable.
It looks beautiful and there is an interesting denouement, but it disappoints; the build-up just isn’t developed enough for it to matter.
A sense of mystery drifts in from magic-hour tableaux and interior monologue voiceovers in this watchable tale about teenagers with special powers.
The end result is just silly rather than scary.
