About this movie

Reimagining Roald Dahl's beloved story for a modern audience, Robert Zemeckis's visually innovative THE WITCHES tells the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy (Bruno) who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. The boy and his grandmother come across some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, so Grandma wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world's Grand High Witch (Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.

I have to say that this remake is appalling. It is no longer a children's movie. I would advise people, not to watch this with their younger kids. The the mouth is disturbing as well. The grand high witch pulling him out of the vent is equally creepy. You took a much-loved piece of my childhood and ruined it. I'm only giving this movie one star because I have to rate it to leave a review.

COMPLETELY AWFUL. I'm a fan of Chris Rock but hearing his scratchy high-pitched voice versus a calm and sweet grandmother as the narrator just turned me off immediately. The original is still better. Also it really felt like Anne Hathaway didn't even try. Like seriously, stop agreeing to everything.

More scarier than expected. Anne was a good actor in the movie. Although disappointed at the execution and the worst movie I have seen in 5 years
