The Witches

ActionAdventureComedyFamilyFantasyHorrorMystery91 min

While staying at an English seaside hotel with his grandmother Helga, young Luke stumbles into a gathering of witches disguised as ordinary women and overhears a plan to turn children into mice. When he’s caught and transformed himself, Luke has to fight back from mouse height with Helga’s help before the witches can carry out their scheme. Anjelica Huston towers over the coven as the Grand High Witch, all severe glamour and sharp edges, while Mai Zetterling’s Helga is the calm force at Luke’s side. Rowan Atkinson appears as the hotel’s increasingly frazzled manager, Mr. Stringer.
