The Adventure Club (2016): Kids and an Ancient Wish Box

Directed by Geoff Anderson, The Adventure Club (2016) makes an enjoyable addition to the popular genre that features children on a hunt for lost treasure. The story finds a young boy and his friends following clues left by his grandfather that lead to an ancient Sumerian "Wish Box" concealed behind a hidden wall inside the Science Museum. Low-budget aside, the mixture of Museum atmosphere and dusty relics creates a charming mystique. The cast does a decent job with the material, including Sam Ashe Arnold, Dalila Bela, Gabrielle Miller, Kim Coates and Billy Zane.
