We enjoyed it. It's basically Hansel and Gretel with a different spin. Had some typical horror movie stuff that never makes any sense. If you're going to escape why stand there with the door open watching what's going on in the house? The kids enjoyed it so I guess that's what really matters.

Really fantastic throughout, such a unique movie! but had an average pre-climax. Resolution is ok and good enough. But the first 3/4th of the movie though, absolutely loved that part!!! + Plus: Main leads acting is one of the best. The little kid who played Alex will go places. He's such a natural and so good. The other two female leads playing Natacha and Yasmin are absolutely fantastic too. Casting is top notch. Super!! - Minus: The pre-climax, it could've went so much bigger at the end but stopped itself short and quickly. But the resolution is fine! Story: A Presentation: A Execution: A- Score: A-

With a better script, this could have been a Halloween classic for the kids. The actors are good and the special effects are fine but the plotting is all over the place. This is a shame as while it is largely enjoyable, there was the potential for something better.

A boy gives up writing due to being bullied for it. A witch (Krysten Ritter) captures him and forces him to write for her and he struggles to tell a story she’d enjoy. Though the pacing feels off. The movie is well cast and well made.

Mediocre, even for a kids story. The main character is poorly written. Fegley did a good enough job acting, but the writing was just poor. I loved the cat. Actually, the cat was the best character in the movie. So perfect for this sort of film. The cat and the sandwich, just awesome.
