Movie Review: “Return to Oz”

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Josh Roseman

I vaguely remember seeing Return to Oz in theaters as a child and deciding that the movie was good, but scary. As an adult, I’m quite surprised at how creepy and disturbing the film’s imagery was. In Oz alone, we have the insane behavior of the Wheelers, the mirror-palace where Mombi resides, and even the Gump, who should’ve quit while he was a head.

My review of Return to Oz is up at Escape Pod.
