Magic tracks are a popular toy among children and even adults. These tracks are different from regular toy tracks because they have a special feature - they glow in the dark. This glowing effect adds an extra element of fun to playing with these tracks. The tracks are made from a special material that is able to absorb light. This means that when you turn off the lights, the tracks will still be visible as they emit a vibrant glow. This glow can be quite mesmerizing as it illuminates the room and creates a magical atmosphere.
The Cannibalistic Witch of The Wretched
2020 is a weird year. On March 23 rd, my state decided to lockdown. It’s only been recently that I even felt any semblance of safety in leaving the house at all and even then, it comes with a mild amount of anxiety. It’s not so bad though. I’m catching up on my bookshelf of Criterion discs. I beat Ghost of Tsushima in a few weeks. I made my vinyl collection something to be proud of. Still, I miss my friends and the movie theater. No one really wins in this pandemic, but if there were winners, they were movies like The Wretched.
The Wretched premiered on VOD and theaters back on May 1 st costing a modest $66,000 to produce. Due to it being one of the very few titles being released and the resurgence of drive-in cinema, The Wretched topped the box office for six straight weeks. To date, the only other film to top the box-office for six consecutive weeks is Avatar. Not bad company at all. The film has gone on to make $3.1 million, almost 47 times its production cost.

The Intro
The film begins on a scene set 35 years ago; a babysitter arrives for a night’s work. The house is in obvious disarray and the phone is off the hook. Through unawareness or legitimate reasoning (my family often took the phone off the hook for uninterrupted dinners), the babysitter unflinchingly traverses the seemingly empty house. Noticing the basement door ajar, she makes her way to the basement to find a woman with severe bone and joint issues feasting on something in the corner of the room.
Creeping up to the woman, the babysitter finally realizes something is amiss. The chomping noises stop and the head of the family’s daughter is revealed. A chunk of flesh missing from the child’s neck. Racing to the basement stairs, the babysitter arrives just in time to see the family patriarch locking the basement door. As the babysitter screams behind the locked door the camera pans out on a haunting sigil carved into the door.
This intro is highly effective, even if it is completely unrelated to the rest of the film. Setting tone and suspense, some real patience in camera work and editing pays off here. Intros like this one can make or break a film. Scream (one of my absolute favorites) arguably has the best intro in the horror genre. It gives the audience a peek of the carnage to come, do it wrong and your audience abandons you ten minutes in. Adding to that, I had now gathered a checklist of questions the film needed to answer.

They can observe how the tracks absorb light during the day and then emit it in the form of a glow at night. Magic tracks are also flexible, allowing children to create various track designs. They can shape the tracks into loops, twists, and turns, adding to the excitement of racing cars on these tracks. The glowing effect enhances the visual experience, making it even more thrilling. Another advantage of magic tracks glowing in the dark is that they can be played with during nighttime. This can be particularly exciting for children who enjoy playing with toys in the dark. The glowing tracks create a magical and mysterious atmosphere, enhancing their imaginative play. In conclusion, magic tracks that glow in the dark are a fascinating and entertaining toy for children and adults alike. The glowing effect adds an extra element of fun and excitement to playing with these tracks. Whether used for educational purposes or simply for enjoyment, magic tracks are sure to captivate anyone who plays with them..

1. Emma - 2 out of 5 stars - I was really excited to try out the Magic Tracks Glow in the Dark set, but I was ultimately disappointed with my purchase. The tracks didn't glow as brightly as I expected, and the glow quickly faded after a short period of time. Additionally, the tracks were quite flimsy and didn't connect securely, leading to frustration during playtime. Overall, I didn't feel like I got my money's worth with this product.
2. James - 1 out of 5 stars - I have to say, I was extremely disappointed with the Magic Tracks Glow in the Dark. The tracks were difficult to assemble, and they constantly came apart during play. The glow feature was minimal and barely noticeable, even in a dark room. It was definitely not worth the price, and I would not recommend this product to others.
