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.
A candy-colored nightmare aimed squarely at younger nerves, this one trades gore for a queasier register of unease. Its horror lives in the transformation—the grotesque reveal beneath a glamorous surface—and in the powerlessness of a child facing something far larger than himself. The dread is playful until, suddenly, it isn't.
