What's really disheartening about this whole movie is that there are some recognizable faces in the crowd that apparently wandered on set and were kept there against their will. Evil Oz people are after it so Dorothy finds herself dodging all manner of mean, magical witches in order to keep the key safe. Dorothy is unaware that as a child she visited Oz and came into possession of some key that does something really important. I assume this takes place in a present day universe where no one has heard of the original 'Oz' tale, or Dorothy would be crucified as a dirty plagiarist.ĭorothy has been offered a book deal so she must move from the wide open plains of Kansas to the densely populated center of New York in order write her last book and complete a movie deal. She's written a rousing good set of books which chronicle the time of a fictional character named Dorothy in the Land of Oz.

Dorothy (Paulie Rojas) is the author of a series of children's books. I hesitate to even revisit the plot, because it gives me such anxiety to look back on it, but here we go. It's overly long (164 minutes of excruciating terror to be exact), its production values are nil (just try to count how many extras are in this movie buildings are eerily vacant), its special effects are atrocious, its acting grates on you like fingernails on a chalkboard, its story is, at its best, completely incoherent, and worst of all it takes a beloved story and turns it into an utter mess, all the while thinking that it's done the best job possible. 'The Witches of Oz' is everything that is loathsome about made-for-TV movies. Now we have another rejiggering of the story of Oz, this time called 'The Witches of Oz,' which was shown on Starz and the SyFy Channel. I didn't mind Lionsgate's ' Alice' either, although it wasn't as good as 'Tin Man.' Even the recently reviewed ' Neverland' had a few redeeming qualities. I actually quite liked ' Tin Man' which was a reworking of the 'Wizard of Oz' for the SyFy Channel. I'm not opposed to made-for-TV movies that expound upon or re-imagine well-known stories.
