Thankfully, the new version is less scary than the original, although I personally wouldn’t be showing it to anyone under 10, it’s still quite scary. This is a kids’ movie! Thank you Roald Dahl for years of nightmares and running (not walking) down the corridor at night. The witches are bald, have creepy faces, no toes, messed up hands and their favourite thing is picking off poor kids, ones that won’t be missed. Then grandma and the little boy go on holiday at a fancy hotel where a convention of witches are meeting to make a plan to rid the world of all the children.
