Witches, The

Roald Dahl's scarytale is told in deliciously diabolical style by director Nic Roeg and the effects masters at Jim Henson's Creature Workshop. Anjelica Huston relishes her role as the warty old sorceress who plans to turn every child in England into mice. Rowan Atkinson, Jane Horrocks and Brenda Blethyn all find themselves caught in the fiendish plot.
