In Nicolas Roeg's adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel -The Witches, a young boy is vacationing at the seaside with his grandmother when he discovers that the hotel he is staying at is hosting a convention of witches. Eavesdropping on the witches, he learns that the Grand High Witch (Anjelica Huston) has devised a plan to turn all of the children in England into mice. With creature-effects by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, The Witches was the last film Henson worked on before passing away in 1990. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
Nicholas Roeg's adaptation of Roald Dahl's -The Witches comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that fails to reproduce the original theatrical aspect ratio. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are no subtitles, but the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no real special features on this release. Although the disc lacks a widescreen transfer and is light on extras, the quality of the film and the inexpensive list price make it worth a look. Fans of the film can hope for a better release sometime in the future. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
