I appreciate that this is more "boo" than gory, but I thought the setting was more interesting than the characters.  This is based on the children's book series by Alvin Schwartz, although this movie seems aimed more at teens.  Guillermo del Toro co-wrote but André Øvredal directed.

Although this hints at other genres-- fantasy, horror, war drama, etc.-- the first quarter hour is basically about a little girl and a maidservant (who might be a spy) and some other characters in '40s Spain.  Guillermo del Toro wrote and directed.
