Surprisingly fun and creepy movie with a relative young Jonathan Pryce, I enjoyed it!

It might not be as great as it could've been, but I did enjoy watching 'Something Wicked This Way Comes'. Jonathan Pryce definitely carries events as Mr. Dark, who is a character that suits him very nicely. I'm a fan of Pryce from other films, so it's little surprise that I like him here. Jason Robards is good too, if a little muttered throughout. The child actors, meanwhile, are passable. The premise is filled with intrigue, it doesn't quite deliver on a grand scale and yet I still felt suitably entertained. The film is shot quite neatly, the main town in particular looks pleasant. Good, admittedly mostly thanks to Pryce.

One of my all-time favourite movies when I was younger, and it still holds up today as a creepy, fantastical piece of cinema. Darker than most Disney flicks and all the better for it.

Creepy despite it being a Disney family film. They probably should remake it soon though. It’s a nice film but pretty outdated.

By the pricking of my thumbs...

Beset by production issues, Disney being horrified by the horror of the piece and etc, Something Wicked This Way Comes proved to be a most divisive picture. Yet it's actually a spooky family friendly horror yarn.
