The Witches
PG
Based on Roald Dahl's novel The Witches, the film features eerily-realistic witches and mice crafted by Jim Henson's Creature Shop. A boy's vacation with his grandmother takes a creepy turn when he learns that he's sharing a hotel with a coven of witches, led by the Grand High Witch (Anjelica Huston), who plans to turn all England's children into mice.
