Review of Return from Witch Mountain (1978) by Scott A — 23 Aug 2013
Pretty much more of the same, as the kids are older now, and better actors, and they return to Earth for a vacation and someone get mixed up with the one man on the planet looking to make mind control a moneymaker. Well, naturally he finds the boy and uses him for his tests.
This time the villains are played by bigger names, Lee and Davis, but they are hamming it up pretty badly here. Davis' teeth are the scariest thing in the movie: they are so yellow I thought she had a gold grill going!!!
Like I said, the kid actors, as the girl finds a bunch of local street rats to help her find her brother, are much improved here.
As are the special effects, as I didn't see any wires this time. The spaceship looked awful, but the 'fixing the van' scene was pretty impressive.
These films were just not for me. I'd much rather see more of their kind on Witch Mountain, or wherever they keep going back to in the end.
