Synopsis: In 1967, Bruno, a young orphan, goes to live with his grandmother in a small Alabama town. Together, they cross paths with some seductive but terrifying witches. During a stay at a luxury hotel, they discover that the Chief Witch is plotting a diabolical plan with her henchmen gathered in secret. Grandmother and grandson must show courage and ingenuity to thwart their dark plans.
Robert Zemeckis, renowned for his work on Forrest Gump, Alone in the World and Scrooge's A Very Merry Christmas, delivers a visually striking adaptation with modern special effects and a tone that oscillates between humor, emotion and thrills. This project is in line with his desire to adapt classic works for a contemporary family audience.
