series Witches’ Brew
Directed by Nicolas Roeg | 1990
With Anjelica Huston, Mai Zetterling, Jasen Fisher
“Ambitious and inventive.”
—Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times
Nicolas Roeg brought Roald Dahl’s deliciously dark children’s book to the screen with its sinister undercurrents fully intact. Anjelica Huston delivers a fabulously camp performance as an evil sorceress who plans to turn all of England’s children into mice, unless a young boy can stop her. The dazzling puppet effects—including Huston’s hideously gnarly hidden face—are courtesy of producer Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
