  Intelligent, scary and with a good black comedy. But, maybe not very appropriate for children.

• AJ V

  
  This movie really scared me for some reason when I was a kid, I had nightmares. The weirdest things scare you as a kid, don't they? Anyway, this movie is okay, it's based on the book of the same name.

  30/10/2010 (TELEVISION)<br/><br/>This is a classic for me, a childhood film that use to scare the crap out of me! I manage to catch this flick during the Halloween weekend and it was a pretty good re-watch, I hadn't seen it in years so it was quite a treat.<br/><br/>It's quite a flick for it's time and it was pretty darn hilarious to see all the scenes that use to scare me look like a joke to me now. I still like this story and it was indeed a memorable one from childhood.<br/><br/>I like scarier films now but this is still a classic and I guess it's one for the younger audiences. Funny, darkly and certainly an entertainer!

  The Witches is a Descent Movie with those Witch Clicheé s that Witches have long nose and eat children and all that.

  While Anjelica Huston is appropriately creepy, I can't help but feel something was lost in translation.

• Anthony L

  
  Scared the shit out of me when I was young! My first horror film after Jaws really!

• Jason O

  Superb children's fantasy. There was a grand setting of a big old hotel, with nice opening titles. A boy is staying at the hotel with his grandmother, and stumbles upon a witches convention. The witch makeup effects were superb and creepy; little kids might be easily frightened.… More
  Superb children's fantasy. There was a grand setting of a big old hotel, with nice opening titles. A boy is staying at the hotel with his grandmother, and stumbles upon a witches convention. The witch makeup effects were superb and creepy; little kids might be easily frightened. Angelica Huston is perfect as the leader of the Witches. The plot is solid and original. Things develop when the boy is changed into a mouse, and must stop the witches' plan. A quality film.

  Fun, twisted little film (another story from Roald Dahl) about a child turned into a mouse by a witch. Jasen Fisher isn't much of an actor, but when he becomes the mouse, his voice work is much more entertaining. And by the end, you're wishing that Mai Zettering could be… More
  Fun, twisted little film (another story from Roald Dahl) about a child turned into a mouse by a witch. Jasen Fisher isn't much of an actor, but when he becomes the mouse, his voice work is much more entertaining. And by the end, you're wishing that Mai Zettering could be your grandma too. Am I the only one who thinks she looks like Joanne Woodward?

  Fun kids flick

• Yinalí R

  
  Classic.

• Sarah P

  
  Cute movie. It succeeded in being weird, creepy, and at time, gross. A good kid's movie for Halloween time!

• Sunil J

  
  Angelica Houston terrified me as a child because of this movie.

• Sarah B

  
  Another example of Hollywood desecrating a Roald Dahl story.

• Marion R

  
  I really enjoyed this , I think that if I had seen this as a child I would have been really scared. It is actually really dark for a children's movie.

• Robert F

  
  Alright. I didn't really like Anjelica Huston's accent though.
