Based on the novel byh Roald Dahl, the film was toned down from the source novel as it was intended to be a children's movie, but the is a hint of black comedy. Anjellica Houston gives us the best scary performance as the high witch. It does give meaning to kids "don't talk to strangers".
Rowan Atkinson does his at supporting cast as the snooty hotel manager and Mai Zetterling as the kind warm nurturing Grandma.
