RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN (Released to Theaters USA 1978)

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì Return from Witch Mountain—okay film—does not show the  novelty of the first film in this series. It's a bit slow and has a weaker story. Watch for reprised actors with some new additions. The movie works best as a light afternoon watch. There are no unwanted surprises.
