For a while,Miss Peregrines gets by on such ghoulishness.

But whats happened to Burtons gift for storytelling?
In the movies second half, its impossible to follow the storys gnarled-vine logic.
Its a nice idea, but this movie has no idea where we ought to be looking.

To be sure, the digital effects never quit inMiss Peregrine.
Its a nod to Burtons fellow masters of fantasy cinema: In this corner, Ray Harryhausen!
In that corner, the Brothers Quay!
Still, in its most offhanded, delicate moments, the digital trickery comes with a bubble-light touch.
Its sad, then, to report that a lot of Burtons latest screen fantasy is a chore.
