The revelation of what causes all the evil to occur felt undercooked. The opening suffers from trying to both fit in the exposition and getting to the scares too quickly. Only draw back is that the final foe, though still creepy, doesn't quite compare to the ones before it.
I found the Pale Lady segment to be one of the best scares of the year.
They also rely on practical effects when. The ghosts and monsters in this are heavily based on the original, iconic, and freaky illustrations by Stephen Gammell, which, let's be honest, are as much as responsible for the books' fame as the stories. The characters are attacked by several stories come to life, and each one is accompanied by an unrelenting sense of doom. The movie does a great job with the atmosphere when the scares kick in. For those worried that the violence and gruesomeness is going to be watered down because this is from children's books, be rest assured that Øvredal manages to push the PG-13 rating pretty far.

Director André Øvredal (who directed the excellent The Autopsy of Jane Doe) really knows how to bring on the scares. For those worried that the violence and I found this adaptation of the popular children's book trilogy to be one of those films that has great scares with an okay plot.
