From Robert Zemeckis comes Roald Dahl’s The Witches, a campy horror-comedy. Based on the children’s book, a young boy stumbles across a witch convention at the hotel he’s staying at and learns of their nefarious scheme to turn children into mice and tries to stop them. Starring Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer, Stanley Tucci, and Chris Rock, the cast isn’t too bad; however, their performances aren’t very good. And neither is the CGI, which really stands out; particularly in the witch designs. Still, some of the comedy works and there are some fun chase and fight scenes. Roald Dahl’s The Witches is mildly entertaining, but isn’t as good as the 1990 version.
