The Witches The Witches is adapted from Roald Dahl's book, and directed by maverick British filmmaker Nicolas Roeg, who turned out to be a perfect interpreter of Dahl's fiendishly clever tale of witchcraft in contemporary England. A young boy, recently orphaned, is taken to England by his grandmother. At a hotel in which they are staying, a group of witches have gathered to prepare a plot to rid the world of all children. Great visual effects and makeup and a delicious performance by Angelica Huston are the highlights of this film about witches on a mission. Angelica Huston is known for great performances and this is especially good. Not since Cruella De Ville has there been a villainess like this. Jim Henson works his magic on the film and its visual appeal, effects and makeup make the film what it is.
