There are a select few motion pictures out there that have magical quality that make their viewer feel like a child again. Something Wicked This Way Comes does just that. Call it a time machine, if you will. This is one of Disney's few scary movies that isn't more on the comedic side. It may very well be my favorite film of all time and I believe it's for good reason.
When a carnival rolls into a small town, everything seems great. A carousel, ferris wheel, house of mirrors and all the great attractions you could possibly expect from a carnival. However, this one is special, it seems to grant people their deepest desires. But as main characters, Jim and Will realize, there is a serious price to pay for those wishes.
I cannot recommend this movie enough. It's written by Ray Bradbury, based on his novel(which is also great). The performances are wonderful, particularly Jason Robards and Jonathan Pryce. It also has beautiful imagery and exceptional camera work. And all those things aside, this film is perfect for the whole family and it's set in October so it's perfect for this time of the year. You won't want to miss it!
10/10 Jack O'lanterns
