5.0 out of 5 stars Not one for the little uns, 17 Mar 2007
By eviledna (ENGLAND where else would I want to be?) - See all my reviews
The opening credits to this film are ace and set the tone of the film. For a Disney it's dark a bit like their "Black Cauldren" too scary for little kids but not scary enough for adults, even so it's CREEPY.
It's set in a little town in America where a travelling carnival comes. Though it's no ordinary carnival as its owner can grant you your deepest desires.....at a price. Meet Mr Dark.
The story was written by Ray Bradbury a Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Mystery writer and is DEFINITLY worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Wicked!, 3 Oct 2008
By Greywolf (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Something Wicked This Way Comes [DVD] [1983] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
A marvellous neglected gem of a movie. Rarely shown on TV and never given a UK DVD release, this is arguably the best, certainly the strangest and by far the scariest film the Disney studio has ever produced. Based on a Ray Bradbury story, and with a sparkling script by Bradbury himself, the action is set in the early 50s American mid-West where, as in David Lynch movies, the glowing surfaces of things hide an insidious darkness. In this case the darkness comes to town in the form of the aptly named Mr. Dark and his travelling carnival (think Tod Browning's 'Freaks' and you won't be far wrong), with Mr. Dark chillingly portrayed by Jonathan Pryce. Two young boys risk becoming caught in his wicked web as, one by one, the townspeople are subverted and transformed.
The film deals with big themes: the nature of childhood, the divide between parents and children, the deceptiveness of recollection, the power of self-image, the traps set for us by our own desires, the redemptive qualities of love, hope and courage ... and all within a tightly told, beautifully photographed, brilliantly acted and truly spooky narrative. And look out for my personal favourite character: the delightfully weird Seller of Lightning Rods. Wow!
It's hard to praise this film highly enough. My kids and I love it and have watched it again and again since they were very young (I was lucky enough to have taped one of its rare outings on TV). They are now well into their teens and still love it. It is genuinely frightening, but also deeply uplifting. So, come on Disney, how about a UK release?

4.0 out of 5 stars A Dark Tale, 6 Jul 2009
This review is from: Something Wicked This Way Comes [DVD] [1983] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
The ideal Hallowe'en movie! "Something Wicked" is a much better film than many critics gave it credit for, when it was released in 1983. Although visually it is not always as evocative as Bradbury's tale needed it to be, it is still a remarkable achievement. The early shots of fields of golden pumpkins, and the glorious image of Fall foliage, establish perfectly the atmosphere of the magical autumn in which the two lads confront the facts of life in allegorical form. Good performances from all the cast and a great score from James Horner, result in a memorable film which is very unlike any other feature Disney had produced to date. The scene in which the bedroom comes alive with spiders; the naked man surrounded by belly-dancers; the torturing of the lightning rod seller; and the disintegration of the villain at the films conclusion, don't pull any punches - so if you have impressionable youngsters take care.

It is slightly disappointing that Ray Bradbury fans have to have multi-region DVD players to appreciate films of his work. Read more
