The Witches be brewing up a storm at the Witches convention. I think that’s the most Halloween sentence I’ve ever written. This movie, based on the Ronald Dahl book of the same name, follows a young boy and his witch hunting grandma as they go on vacation to help her diabetes. By pure misfortune, they end up at a witches convention at the same hotel. Wackiness ensues when the grand high witch reveals her plan to turn every child into a mouse!
A silly but sincere story, mixed with a bit of wonderful movie magic make this movie better than expected. Also, this movie is absolutely terrifying for any child who watches this.
