Plot: 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

I Love This Movie!!
Added 11/15/2009

I fell in love with this movie as a child and still enjoy it as an adult. I had it in VHS format, but was happy to find it on Amazon.com on DVD for a great price! It is a really neat movie - great for older kids and beyond. It is full of adventure, suspense, some humor, and a great story line that will keep you wondering what will happen next. My mom and I have a favorite line from the movie: "You may remove your shoes" (the grand high witch tells the other witches at their conference.)

Angelica Houston Leads the Coven in The Witches
Added 11/10/2009

I've seen this movie many times and love Angelica Houston's performance. After seeing it so many times, I wanted to add it to my DVD collection, and ordered it through one of the vendors (silverfox) here on Amazon. I was very disappointed that I never received the DVD, although I contacted the vendor by email twice. The worst part of this is that they never bothered to reply my emails, and only responded after contact from Amazon. This review is certainly more about the poor customer service of the vendor than it is about the movie. However, it is a wonderful movie that will keep youngsters and the young at heart entertained, although some scenes may be a wee too scary for the under 5 set.

Don't buy this item from Amazon! They don't have it!

This is an awesome movie! I saw it at the theatre when it first came out, and now I want it for my grandson.

I just tried to buy it from Amazon hoping to have it for a gift. Amazon shows that if you buy 2 other movies with this one, you get all 3 for a deal.

I received the other 2 movies, but NOT "The Witches" which is the movie I wanted in the first place.

After waiting for 10 days, I finally got an email from Amazon stating that they don't have "The Witches" and they will take it off of their website. Well guess what. It's still being advertised as in stock, and Amazon is still offering a deal if you buy 2 other movies with it.

Don't believe it. You'll get the 2 other movies, but not "The Witches".

I would get it in writing first, from Amazon, that they really do have this movie in stock!

Good luck!

this movie got to me in a very timely fashion and was in good shape. I didn't prefer the movie all that much, I had actually thought it was a different one but this had nothing to do with the seller. Thanks anyway - Sheri
