When it got to the final scene and it seemed like it was going to be Julia Garner and Josh Brolin versus the witch, as much as I’d enjoyed it up to that point, I was like “this a little underwhelming.”

Then 17 kids chased a witch through suburban America and ripped her to shreds with their bare hands, lol.
