關於這部電影

為迎合現代觀眾品味，導演勞勃辛密克斯將羅德達爾的家喻戶曉之作改頭換面，在《女巫們》電影中注入大量創新視覺元素，道出暗黑幽默、而又滿載溫情的故事。1967 年末，孤苦伶仃的小男孩 (賈瑟布魯諾飾) 搬到了阿拉巴馬州的戴摩波里斯小鎮，與摰愛的祖母 (奧塔薇亞史班森飾) 同住，期間竟遇到一群美艷絕倫、卻惡毒透頂的女巫！於是，睿智的祖母帶著電影小英雄逃亡，來到豪華海邊度假村暫避。可惜，二人與高階女巫 (安海瑟薇飾) 恰好同時抵達，而後者更召集了全球各地的爪牙，偽裝策動邪惡計謀！

Nothing to do with the cost.... I'm sorry to say this was terrible. "Intro" before they get to the hotel too long, depressing and boring. In my opinion it's not suitable for little children. I think AH is a great actress but she's really bad in this, the accent ruins all dialog. The story is then rushed at the end. Sorry but it's just not worth watching, don't waist your money.

A fresh, yet faithful, adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic; The Witches 2020 succeeds in casting a charming spell over its audience. This is a story about the struggle of an orphaned boy and his grandma against a secret and dark world order controlled by witches. A much loved 1983 novel of the same name and a 1990 film, Robert Zemeckis, director, had a lot to live up to. But the Back To The Future director pulls it off in style with outstanding performances and special effects to match

SPOILERS Black representation means nothing if studios still continue to roll out tired black stereotypes. The witches in this movie only target poor black children. Octavio plays another Mammy character, she religious but also does Voodoo, she loves fried chicken. Now I know why my friends parents keep apologising about the chicken at dinner time, clearly been watching stuff like this. Most reviewers ignored these tired troupes , but choose to focus interpretation of the witches limbs.
