Cinema: The Witches
Based on the novel by Roald Dahl and starring Anne Hathaway, Octavia Spencer, Stanley Tucci, Chris Rock and Kristin Chenoweth.
In late 1967, a young orphaned boy goes to live with his loving grandma in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks him away to a seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe — under cover — to carry out her nefarious plans.
