“The Witches” is one of my accepted films. The film combines the gigantic filmmaking talents of Nicholas Roeg with the wonderworking of Jim Henson and an unforgettable performance from Angelica Huston. Every time I see this film, I salvage something original to like about it.

Since I have seen the film numerous times, I was a bit disappointed that the DVD did not absorb any special features, such as a commentary from the filmmaker or one of the actors. Other than the most basic chapter selection, the DVD does not offer any of the bonuses that one would like to examine. Fortunately, the film itself is so splendid that it is worthwhile to catch this disc in spite of the rotten packaging.

From the very beginning of the film, we are thrown into an imaginative world where witches reside in literally every miniature village and where no child is noble in any country. As the credits roll across the hide, Roeg treats us to a hump on a broomstick, to a witch’s-eye belief of the frozen Scandinavian countryside.

The film then introduces us to Luke and his grandmother, the protagonists of this yarn. We learn that the grandmother has long been fighting the witches and even has lost section of her finger in the struggles. After tragedy strikes the young boy’s parents, the pair disappear to England, which is literally infested with witches. Fortunately, Luke has been well-warned how to ogle them and can play safely in his tree house when other children would be in grave worry.

The toothsome irony compounds when the grandmother takes Luke to a seaside resort hotel for her convalescence. It is the dependable time when all the witches of England are meeting under the cloak of the Royal Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Children. In a closed-door session, the witches win their wigs and dismal, yet practical, shoes, letting us search for them in all their repulsiveness. The Gigantic High Witch (played to perfection by Angelica Huston) reveals her idea to turn all the children of England into mice. Of course, the witch’s view goes astray, and tables are turned on all the witches in one of the most luscious scenes in all of unusual cinema. Every time I glimpse it, I assume to myself how grand fun it would be to create a film like this one.

This is a charming, delectable film with enough diversions to withhold children fascinated, told with enough skill to maintain adults fervent. It is a keeper, worth watching many times.

and shocking square-toed shoes

The one who’s scratching at her scalp

is certainly terrible news!

Does she inspect faint when kids plot near

or beget her nose and bustle?

If women like this lag the world

God bless us, everyone

Convention time at the hotel

we goggle at the sight

of Spacious High Witch Angelica

whose wig is on too tight

Her followers cheer gleefully

as she takes off her mask

revealing all her scandalous warts

and gives them one gigantic task

“Conclude your jobs,” the Chief Witch says

“and originate candy shops,

free chocolate should do the trick

we’ll pull out all the stops”

The witches have an harmful plan

to rid the world of brats

those stinky, smelly infamous kids

will now be meals for cats

But all unpleasant deeds must have a hitch

their plan’s been overheard

a clever boy is eavesdropping

and has heard every word

Soon he’s crawling through the kitchens

and dropping in the cress

too many cooks DO spoil the broth

and design an bad mess

The ending differs from the book

it’s really very sappy

I’m positive Dahl’s rolling in his grave

because they made it happy

Rated: 3.5 stars

PS – The sound quality on this DVD is not up to standard, and you’ll need to witness it with remote in hand to form volume adjustments. There are no sub-titles or closed-captioning, and the packaging is of the cheaper variety.
