Scary Fairy Tale

The Changeling (AppleTV+). What do we learn from fables about wishes? Be careful what you ask for! This adaptation of Victor LaValle’s award-winning horror novel stars Wag LaKeith Stanfield as Apollo, who falls for the beguiling Emma (Clark Backo). Emma scoots off on a trip to Brazil, where she meets an enchantress, who gives her a magic bracelet that looks like a Kabbalah string and tells her to never, ever cut it off. Next thing you know, the couple is married with an adorable kid, and …snip snip! Bad idea. —Rowan Morrison
