Horror Vault's take

Set against the backdrop of late-1960s Alabama, a recently orphaned boy finds warmth and safety with his devoted grandmother — until a chance encounter with a sinister coven turns their world upside down. When a seaside hotel getaway brings them face to face with the world's most powerful witch and her assembled followers, the stakes couldn't be higher. This vibrant adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved tale blends dark fantasy with bursts of comedy, anchored by a scene-stealing ensemble cast. It's a wild, visually inventive ride that keeps the story's gleefully menacing spirit very much alive.
