The Witches

Posted : 1 month, 1 week ago on 31 August 2008 01:49 (A review of The Witches)

Anjelica Huston adopts all black, a severe bob, and a trippy accent to play the mother of all nightmarish regal witches. The makeup job on the Grand High Witch is a visual marvel and somehow didn't get an Oscar nomination. Actually, the entire movie has wicked visual trickery and didn't get any love at all. Oh well, it happens. I do miss the old days when children's films had an air of menace and a macabre undertone to them. So much better than this fluffy bullshit they pump out nowadays. The tacked on happy ending feels just like one.
