They Called Her the Witch
They called her the Witch, the same as her mother; the Girl Witch when she first started trading in curses and cures, and then, when she wound up alone, the year of the landslide, simply the Witch. If she’d had another name, scrawled on some timeworn, worm-eaten piece of paper maybe, buried at the back of one of those wardrobes that the older crone crammed full of plastic bags and filthy rags, locks of hair, bones, rotten leftovers, if at some point she’d been given a first name and last name like everyone else in town, well, no one had ever known it, not even the women who visited the house each Friday had ever heard her called anything else. She’d always been you, retard, or you, asshole, or you, devil child, if ever the mother wanted her to come, or to be quiet, or even just to sit still under the table so that she could listen to the women’s maudlin pleas, their sniveling tales of woe, their strife, the aches and pains, their dreams of dead relatives and the spats between those still alive, and money, it was almost always the money, but also their husbands and those whores from the highway, and why do they always walk out on me just when I’ve got my hopes up, they’d sob, what was the point of it all, they’d moan, they might as well be dead, just call it a day, wished they’d never been born, and with the corner of their shawls they’d dry the tears from their faces, which they covered in any case the moment they left the Witch’s kitchen, because they weren’t about to give those bigmouths in town the satisfaction of going around saying how they’d been to see the Witch to plot their revenge against so-and-so, how they’d put a curse on the slut leading their husband astray, because there was always one, always some miserable bitch in town spinning yarns about the girls who, quite innocently, minding their own business, went to the Witch’s for a remedy for indigestion for that dipshit at home clogged up to his nuts on the extra-large bag of chips he ate in one sitting, or a tea to keep tiredness at bay, or an ointment for tummy troubles, or, let’s be honest, just to sit there awhile and lighten the load, let it all out, the pain and sadness that fluttered hopelessly in their throats. Because the Witch listened, and nothing seemed to shock her, and frankly, what would you expect from a woman they say killed her own husband, Manolo Conde no less, and for money, the old fuck’s money, his house and the land, a couple hundred acres of cultivated fields and pastures left to him by his father, or what was left of it after his father had sold it off piece by piece to the leader of the Mill Workers Union so that, from then on, he wouldn’t have to lift a finger, so he could live off his tenants and apparently off his so-called businesses that were always failing, but so vast was the estate that when Don Manolo died there was still a sizable tract of land left over, with a tidy rental value; so tidy, in fact, that the old man’s sons, two fully grown kids, both out of school, sons by his legitimate wife over in Montiel Sosa, rolled into town the moment they heard the news: heart attack, the doctor from Villa told the boys when they showed up at that house in the middle of the sugarcane fields where the vigil was being held, and right there, in front of everyone, they told the Witch that she had until the next day to pack her bags and leave town, that she was mad if she thought they’d let a slut like her get her hands on their father’s assets: the land, the house, that house that, even after all those years, was still unfinished, as lavish and warped as Don Manolo’s dreams, with its elaborate staircase and banisters decked in plaster cherubs, its high ceilings where the bats made their roosts, and, hidden somewhere, or so the story went, the money, a shedload of gold coins that Don Manolo had inherited from his father and never banked, not forgetting the diamond, the diamond ring that no one had ever seen, not even the sons, but that was said to hold a stone so big it looked fake
Together, they have various adventures in the house, evading danger and bonding with each other. The plot takes a turn when Lawrence's greedy nephew tries to sell the house, threatening to separate Thunder from his newfound family. Thunder and his friends must work together to save the house and protect their home. Throughout the film, audiences are treated to visually stunning animation and vibrant colors that bring the magical world to life.

I found "Watchy Thunder and the House of Magic" to be absolutely disappointing. The storyline lacked originality and was predictable. The characters were shallow and didn't have any depth to them. The animation was subpar and didn't capture my attention at all. Overall, the movie felt like a half-hearted attempt at captivating the audience and failed miserably.
2. Emma - 2/5 stars
I was really excited to watch "Watchy Thunder and the House of Magic", but it turned out to be a letdown. The plot was scattered and didn't make much sense. The pacing was all over the place, making it hard to stay engaged. The voice acting was mediocre, and I didn't feel a connection to any of the characters. It had some potential, but it didn't live up to it. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this film.
3. Alex - 2/5 stars
"Watchy Thunder and the House of Magic" had an interesting premise, but it failed to deliver. The animation was lackluster and didn't bring the magic to life. The dialogue was cliché and didn't offer anything new to the genre. The film lacked depth and emotional resonance. While it might entertain younger children, it fell short in capturing the attention of adult viewers or even older kids. Overall, a forgettable film that I wouldn't watch again.

I don't understand the hype around "Watchy Thunder and the House of Magic". The story was confusing and didn't hold my interest. The characters were one-dimensional, and I couldn't connect with any of them. The animation felt outdated, and the visuals were unimpressive. It felt like a wasted opportunity for a captivating and magical adventure. I would recommend skipping this film and finding something more enjoyable to watch.
