Bollywood Crazies Opinion: Nightbooks movie story is interesting and that’s what makes this film a worth watch. It is a scary film without a doubt and there are elements when you will literally fear. Though, this film has been made for kids but even the mature kids feel scared after watching it. The screenplay and presentation of Nightbooks hooked me and I was completely engrossed into the story. Despite a screen time of 1 hour 43 minutes, I didn’t find it boring even for a second. I enjoyed this film but it could have been much better. Still, a movie that young kids with love but yes with the company of their families. The production value is good and it can be visible in various scenes. The scary Unicorn was something that I have saw for the first time and it was really shocking to the eyes. A well made film for the young audience.
