Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (12A)

Plot
A14-year-old boy (Chris Kelly) who visits a travelling freak show is drawn into a world of vampires, werewolves and bearded ladies.

Verdict
A talented ensemble helps this pull through despite a leaden lead, but it may still seem too childish for adults and too adult for kids.
