Tony (Ike Eisenmann) and Tia (Kim Richards) are other-worldly twins endowed with telekinesis. When their Uncle Bene drops them off in Los Angeles for an earthbound vacation, a display of their supernatural skill catches the eye of the nefarious Dr. Gannon (Christopher Lee) and his partner in crime, Letha (Bette Davis), who see rich possibilities in harnessing the children's gifts. They kidnap Tony, and Tia gives chase only to find Gannon is using her brother's powers against her.

B-

Better structured and faster-moving than its predecessor … disappointingly, Tony spends almost the whole film separated from Tia in a trance-like state, so the siblings' relationship is lost.

Ending is ripe for a third pic in the series, and if high standards of first two are any indication, Disney org should push ahead.

A little on the dry side but Christopher Lee is so heartless and cold to children that it makes for a compelling villain. Basically a superhero movie for kids

2.5/5

While the first film had an exciting feel to it, Return to Witch Mountain was a bit of a let-down. It had more of a made-for-TV feel to it

Probably the closest Disney ever came to making a grindhouse film, starring Christopher Lee and Bette Davis as villains

If you were a fan as a kid, you'll find a certain amount of nostalgic appeal; if not, don't bother.
