Plot Summary

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is a dark fantasy adventure that centers on a mysterious orphanage hidden in a remote corner of Australia, far removed from the outside world. The story unfolds around an isolated home where children with extraordinary abilities live under the strict yet protective supervision of Miss Peregrine.

These children, each marked by peculiar and often dangerous gifts, exist within a fragile balance, shielded from the threats of the modern world. Their secluded life is governed by rigid routines and unspoken rules designed to keep them safe from forces that seek to exploit or destroy them.

As the boundaries between safety and danger begin to collapse, the hidden truths of the home are gradually revealed. Directed by Tim Burton, the film blends gothic atmosphere with emotional depth, exploring themes of identity, belonging, and the cost of being different.

Featuring performances by Eva Green, Asa Butterfield, and Samuel L. Jackson, the film delivers a visually rich and unsettling cinematic experience, where imagination and menace coexist, and childhood innocence is tested against dark, supernatural forces.
