Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share are my own.
I recently watched the new Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase movie. This movie was briefly in theaters and was then released on Digital last week and will be on Blu-ray tomorrow. The movie is based on the classic Nancy Drew Mysteries with iconic teenage super sleuth Nancy Drew and her best friends Bess and George. They are also joined by another girl, Helen who is considered a “mean girl” in their circle of peers.
The movie sets up that Nancy isn’t just good at solving mysteries. She is rebellious, tough, has her own sense of style and justice. She is accomplished in skateboarding, dresses like she doesn’t have a care in the world and is confident, defiant and brave. She is also kind and smart. While she and her friends are pretty much outcasts in their town she is loyal and quick to defend her friends.
There is one moment in the movie that may be a bit scary for younger kids. I have a feeling that it may be scary for Eva. I know she wants to watch the movie because she loved listening to us read the Nancy Drew Mysteries when she was little. I’m sure that we even read The Hidden Staircase to her as well. I’m just glad I watched it first to be ready for that one part (guy in a creepy pig mask).
Through the movie we see four strong female characters who each use their talents to help save the day. It was a fun movie and I am happy to be able to give a copy away to a reader of this blog.

After the death of his wife, Carson Drew decides to leave Chicago behind and make a fresh start with his daughter in River Heights.

Nancy gets that opportunity when she is asked to help solve the ghostly activity at the Twin Elms mansion. Can she help explain the creaking footsteps, exploding lightbulbs and the ominous creature?

Recruiting her best friends George and Bess, along with local “mean girl” Helen, Nancy Drew is on the case!
