Cast

Anjelica Huston Mai Zetterling

Plot

Children fight a convention of witches.

Sinekatalog’s take

Nicolas Roeg's adaptation of Roald Dahl is deliciously creepy children's fantasy. Anjelica Huston is gloriously menacing, and the film's Jim Henson creatures and dark humour give it lasting cult appeal.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
