From Oscar-winning director Robert Zemeckis who did “Forrest Gump” comes the fantasy adventure “Roald Dahl’s The Witches. It stars Oscar winners Anne Hathaway and Octavia Spencer (from “The Help”), Stanley Tucci (“The Hunger Games” films, “The Lovely Bones”), with Kristin Chenoweth (from Glee) and comedian Chris Rock.

Based on the book by Roald Dahl, it’s the darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy (Bruno) who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch (Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover—to carry out her nefarious plans.

Available to rent on Premium Video On Demand (PVOD) From Monday 26th October
