If you loved Roald Dahl's The Witches, try Death Becomes Her

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Robert Zemeckis, and they both carry the pitch black, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Fantasy / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Roald Dahl's The Witches, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Death Becomes Her is

A Beverly Hills fountain, just after midnight. Helen falls backward, shattering the night with a wet crunch. Madeline’s rival becomes immortal and twice as murderous. Deadly cakes, snapped necks, vanity strangled by vanity. Zemeckis carves a sharp-toothed farce from the wreckage of eternal youth.
