‘The Witches’ brews up a weak remake of Roald Dahl’s dark story
“The Witches” serves up a strange brew that doesn’t work, but it’s mildly fascinating for the reasons why, from the people responsible for making it to contrasting this movie with the graphic novel and 1990 film based on Roald Dahl’s dark children’s tale. The Warner Bros. release has been swept over to stream on HBO Max, which is probably where it rightfully belongs.
