About

Nine-year-old Luke (Jasen Fisher), who is on holiday with his grandmother (Mai Zetterling), discovers an international convention of witches meeting at a seaside hotel - but can he stop them unleashing their diabolical plans on the children of the world?

Nicolas Roeg’s beloved adaptation captures all the delicious wickedness of Roald Dahl’s original children’s book. With an indelible performance by Anjelica Huston as the Grand High Witch, enhanced with extraordinary prosthetics by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, who also created the animatronic mice, the film continues to enthrall audiences almost four decades since its release. The Witches was the final film Jim Henson worked on before his untimely death.
