A recently orphaned young boy is taken to England by his grandmother. At their hotel, he stumbles across a convention of a coven of witches who plot to turn all the children of Britain into mice. Now he must stop them, even after he has been turned into a mouse.
The Witches is a slow-to-get-going but ultimately entertaining yarn about a nasty coven conspiring to turn Britain's entire populace of single-digiters into mice.
Real darkness seethes beneath the "Once upon a time" surface, mostly due to Henson's seemingly curious selection of the brilliant and audacious Roeg to direct.
The wizardry of Jim Henson's Creature Shop and a superbly over-the-top performance by Angelica Huston gives The Witches a good deal of charm and enjoyment.
