“Surreal, unnerving, and upsetting…NIGHTMARE FUEL.” -Film School Rejects

If you thought the Wicked Witch of the West was scary, wait until you see the horrors that await Dorothy in RETURN TO OZ, the dark and twisted sequel to the beloved classic. Based on the original books by L. Frank Baum, this film takes you to a nightmarish version of Oz, where the yellow brick road is in ruins, the Emerald City is enslaved, and the Nome King and Princess Mombi reign with an iron fist. Dorothy must team up with new friends, such as a talking chicken, a mechanical man, a pumpkin-headed scarecrow, and a flying sofa, to restore the magic and freedom of Oz. But beware, for along the way, she will face deadly dangers, such as the Wheelers, the deadly desert, and the headless witch.

RETURN TO OZ stars Fairuza Balk as Dorothy, Nicol Williamson as Dr. Worley and the Nome King, Jean Marsh as Nurse Wilson and Mombi, and Piper Laurie as Aunt Em. It is directed by Walter Murch, the Oscar-winning editor and sound designer of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, and features stunning visual effects and puppetry by the Jim Henson Company. RETURN TO OZ is a true original: a devastatingly dark movie blessed with a genuine sense of daring. Don’t miss this unforgettable adventure that will haunt your dreams.
