Tolerable story, intolerable actors
15 October 2021
The story's OK, but the characters are so intolerable they give you a headache.

The black girl in the movie is the epitome of annoyance. She's rude, stuck-up and ungrateful - and has the gall to say stuff like 'That's what friends do' when someone saves her from the witch.

The witch has no character and whenever she opens her mouth, annoys too.

It's impressive how they managed to create a movie where it seems like none of the three main characters have any significant role to play in the movie.

The stories within the movie are a snoozefest, not sure who would find those stories 'scary', much less a witch who should be privy to far more scary stories.
