About This Movie

Roald Dahl's The Witches (2020) offers a unique spin on the classic tale, blending a whimsical yet eerie atmosphere. The film's pacing has its moments, sometimes lingering on the visuals, which are striking thanks to some solid practical effects. The transformation scenes really stand out, giving a tangible feel to the witches' grotesque nature. The performances, especially from the grandmother character, inject a warmth that contrasts with the underlying creepiness. The way it plays with themes of family and fear of the unknown is fascinating, though it can feel a bit rushed towards the end. Overall, it’s a curious blend of humor and horror that might not resonate with everyone but has its distinct charm.
