This is so true. It’s so funny that he said after seeing the 90s movie for the first time when he was younger he started looking for witches everywhere bc I legit did the exact same thing😂 I love it when movies effect us enough to carry over into the real world. That doesn’t really happen much nowadays, it’s usually just frustration with the them being awful again and again. It’s like they don’t care at all about actually learning from their mistakes and failures. Hopefully movies with great dialogue, casting/acting, cinematography, and special effects will come back into the limelight eventually😩

That was the original plan. Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuarón were the ones who put the remake into motion and they even had a scriptwriting session with Roald Dahl's daughter at his house. It was going to be stop motion and one of them was going to direct, while the other one was going to produce. Sadly, they ended up stepping out. Del Toro still got a screenwriter credit.

[@TheMurlocKeeper]

Roald Dahl had a chocolate fixation that he put in books so much because of experiences that he had in his own life as a boy....which you can read in one of his auto-biographies. He got sent to a boys boarding school, (as a young boy, obviously) and it was a very hellish, strict place. One of the few joys he remembers is when a nearby chocolate company regularly used the students as a testing ground for their new chocolate creations, and gave each kid a sample box with the new flavours, which then the kid had to taste and write down what they thought of each one. This is kinda the only treats they ever got, as treats and food parcels from home were routinely taken away from them by the school. Yeah...you couldn't get away with that shit THESE days...but you could then. You could also beat your students half silly, and draw blood with the beatings...which also happened regularly...which he outlines in his auto-biography of his childhood. You should track it down and read it. It's very interesting! I read all this stuff (including ALL of his books) when I was in primary school!

They maybe look outdated today, but they have a certain charm that remakes have lost. I have nothng against remakes or newer adaptation of old storries that already have a Movie. I just find it sad with Witches, that the Witches feel was missing. It missed the Unsetteling vibe and like you said the Horror aspect of the Witches power (Painting thing).

I know exactly what I'm talking about. The state of CGI seems pretty embarrassing considering the advances in technology we've made. You point out Logan, which I haven't seen, but look at literally any movie that tries to animate any animal and it's always artificially silky the way they move and look. Take the several "live action" remakes of classic Disney stories that were all flops, for instance. Gee, why do you think that was? I think it's because CGI is very off-putting and has an uncanny valley feeling to it. Jungle Book, Lion King (You'd think that would've been huge, huh?), Jumanji, Brightburn, just to name a few recent movies that were embarrassing. My opinion is that good practical effects will always have a place in cinema and are superior to look at compared to CGI.

The scenes in the first movie showing the young girl in the painting, being trapped in some other world, forced to live out her life in a desolate woodland farm and to never see her family again, still gives me chills to this day. It perfectly exemplifies why the original film will always be a million times more haunting and terrifying than this durge of a sequel. It showed the witches as conniving and psychopathic in a different way. Yes, perhaps the girl is not tortured physically, but mentally, they torture her in the most bleak and heartbreaking way, by removing her from the safety and love of her family to some strange, lonely, desolate world she never escapes from. Also, its the 'uknown' sensation from the painting we get that adds to the horror. These witches have such power, that we cannot know if the painting truly expresses the girl's experience, or if it is merely the witches toying with the viewer, and in fact, she has met a far more horrifying fate. The way the story of the girl is retold is done in such an atmospheric way, the echoing of her 'Papa, papa' as her poor father stares into the painting, the melancholy music, it all just paints such an eerie, old school nightmarish fairytale vibe. The witches in the original were the kind you read about in Grimms fairytale books and pray you don't have nightmares about after.

The problem with Hathaway is her real personality. She's definitely a witch on set to anyone who's had the displeasure.

Do you mean "stature"? (rather than stacher) Feel free to berate your english teacher for doing a hideous job of teaching you the basics. I knew how to spell that word, and quite a few other big words when I was still in primary school. These days, they're churning out kids that don't have a clue, and once you're an adult, it becomes 100% harder to learn anything. It's shameful what they're not teaching kids these days. Not your fault, luv...but seriously, you should know how to spell by now. Someone needs to answer for failing you so badly. Try reading more...doesn't even matter what. You'll learn what words look like through repetitiveness, and just automatically pick up correct spelling that way. It's how I learned! I was a veracious reader when I was a kid!

The "blind in one eye and can't see out the other," in my opinion, isn't that bad. It sounds like something my grandma would say

@Nia Smith wait wasn’t the original set in England? Was this remake changed to be in the South?

[@MadeOfConfusion]

Agreed, sounds like something my grandma or grandpa would say when they're mildly frustrated 🤣💗

[@itsclemtime2357]

Ngl, the original film is absolutely horrific it’s amazing. The “remake” isn’t a remake. The witches just drugged the hotel’s water supply.

No, that was me actually... 😮

Surprised you didn't mention Stanley Myers' fantastic soundtrack for the 1990 version. He creates such a deep rooted dread in the movie, especially when Luke first enters the meeting room.
