Young Angus is depicted as a sensitive, nature-loving boy with something of a wistful streak (he either truly doesn't know or pretends he doesn't know that his father is dead). His character is contrasted to the British military men, who pretend to represent discipline và gallantry but come off mainly as bullies. In the book, the whole family knew the secret of the water horse and cooperated to keep it; here, only Angus, his sister, và a rebellious Scottish ex-soldier conspire to lớn hide the monster. There are references khổng lồ centuries-old bad feelings between the Scots & the British."> Positive Messages Not present

I read other parent review before starting this with my kids. I don’t typically find they steer me too far wrong, but this time I have to disagree with most of the reviews. This movie is DARK & the imagery & music are often intense and scary. We read the book together and it was nothing like this. The first imagery of the boy imagining he’s drowning, while we watch him getting sucked under the water and appearing lớn drown, is a bit much for young kids. The night the water horse hatches, the thunder và lightning and creepy music và flashes of various gargoyle/statue faces (intended to lớn be scary) was also a bit much. When the soldiers who moved into their house without warning (hello?) started talking about the Germans invading close to the house và then one of the men was shown standing over the bloody carcass of a dead buck, I asked my kids (age 8 and 10) if they wanted to watch something else instead và my youngest shouted an immediate & enthusiastic yes. Kids don’t tell you when they’re too scared, but if you give them an out and they need it, they’ll readily take it. My 10-year-old said nothing but didn’t complain at all about us turning the movie off. Don’t watch this with kids under 12 unless they’ve already been desensitized to scary stuff.
