Oct 23, 2020 · After making clear her intention to turn all children in the world into mice, the witches find a hiding Charlie, and the tension and striking imagery is pure nightmare fuel for anyone under 12 (and most people older than that too). Hathaway drives a fun and yet honestly threatening sequence that the film struggles to match in its second half.

Plenty of horror movies, both for kids and adults, take their sweet time getting to the good stuff. Thankfully, The Witches wastes nary a minute, opening with evil witches, a terrifying short story, and establishing its lore as grandma Helga (Mai Zetterling) explains to Luke (Jasen Fisher) her hatred for the story’s vicious child-killing witches an...
Despite his reputation as a children’s author, Dahl writes plenty of disturbing imagery into his work. While many directors adapting his stories play down that aspect of the material — think Matilda, The BFG — the director of one of the best and most adult horror films ever made, Don’t Look Now, was determined to bring the cruelty and ugliness that...
Of course, the film wouldn’t have been possible without the bizarreness and horror of Dahl’s original story. Though we mostly remember him for his classic works of children’s fiction like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, and Matilda, Dahl was not a stranger to horror. The author even hosted a pre-Twilight Zone sci-fi an...
(Photo by © Warner Bros. Pictures./Everett Collection) If there is one defining image of The Witches, it’s the unmasking of Huston’s Grand High Witch as she delivers her keynote address at the convention. After the stylish woman in that lush purple-lined cape walks onto the stage to the applause of her adoring fellow witches, she removes her wig to...
It’s one thing to have a villain who looks the part, but The Witches only remains as memorable as it does because its villain also acts the part. Even before her nightmare-inducing transformation, Huston is an enthralling menace, vamping it up – what even is that accent – as she sashays flirtatiously one minute, and stares down and terrorizes the n...
Oct 23, 2020 · The Witches 2020 keeps the terrifying ending of Dahl's book, but sacrifices the gut-wrenching effects and legitimate horror of the 1990 film. Although social commentary is introduced, The Witches never follows up in a meaningful way. The Witches 2020 is a beautifully made movie and The Witches 1990 is a terrifying one — but Roald Dahl's ...

Oct 21, 2020 · The Witches (2020) is nowhere near as scary as the 1990 version, but it still brings creepy vibes and a great story. Perfect for Halloween! The 1990 version of The Witches still haunts my nightmares thanks to Angelica Huston’s chilling performance. When I was a child I was terrified I would be turned into a mouse and that witches were lurking ...
