Rated or Dated: The Witches (1990)

from Standard Issue Podcast · host Standard Issue

A kids’ film with genuine horror credentials? Don’t Look Now’s Nicolas Roeg directs Roald Dahl’s 1983 tale of one boy (mouse) and his grandma versus a whole coven (convention) of child-killing witches. And by witches, we mean middle-aged women who don’t meet society’s arbitrary beauty standards and wear sensible shoes. WHAT COULD IT MEAN? Mick, Hannah and Jen investigate.
