Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: In this retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s The Shadow, the victim is a young girl, not a man, and there’s a happy ending. .
Con: The resolution is too easy. Mother Night’s castle is too friendly and easy to navigate—even the food is safe to eat.
