Parent Verdict

Designed as British family viewing, but it earns its behind-the-sofa reputation: Weeping Angels, gas-mask zombies, and other monsters genuinely frighten under-10s. Violence is largely bloodless and themes are hopeful. A strong fit for ages 10 and up, or brave 8-year-olds with company.
