The Witches
A young boy named Luke and his grandmother go on vacation only to discover their hotel is hosting an international witch convention, where the Grand High Witch is unveiling her master plan to turn all children into mice. Will Luke fall victim to the witches' plot before he can stop them?
Why it matters
A darkly whimsical blend of fairy tale and body horror that turns childhood fears into grotesque reality.
- Angelica Huston’s Grand High Witch is a masterclass in sinister charm and theatrical menace.
- Practical effects and creature design by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop bring the witches’ transformations to unsettling life.
- A rare mix of family-friendly fantasy and genuinely creepy atmosphere that unsettles without losing its storybook edge.
- For fans of Roald Dahl’s twisted imagination and 90s horror that embraces practical effects over CGI shortcuts.
