"What's dangerous is the fact that she doesn't look dangerous". Now that's sound advice. spot on! 👍👍👍

[FrancescoDiDomenico]

This movie used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid. I remember closing my eyes in the part when Erika was stucked in the painting. I am 26 years old now. Same fear.

[BTTFMovie]

The scene where Erica is dragged away always scared the hell out of me when I was younger.

[samosullivan]

Mai Zetterling was so perfect as Grandmother! Wonderfully warm and tender with a brilliant mystic touch!

[cynthiaking]

This movie is honestly a pretty good analogy for stranger danger/abductors. They CAN be women and they may not come across as dangerous, but that doesn't mean they won't hurt you

[sirensong]

They  left out two more ways to recognize a witch. In the novel the last two ways are that they have enlarged nostrils and blue spit.

[perfumaphilia]

This movie scared the ever-loving crap out of me as a kid, but I loved it.

[NairAthul]

Couldn't they make a prequel instead of a remake? One featuring the grandma as a young witch huntress.

[soulqueen]

I love the way she told stories to her grandson 💙 ❤️

[SpinningOrange]

I'd definitely watch a prequel film about a young Helga travelling the world as a badass witch huntress!

[bryant]

I remember I was terrifying when I saw this movie. What a great childhood 

[rayoflight]

The music in this film is absolutely phenomenal. And no official Soundtrack was released. Sacrilege.

[oliverpony]

i want to see a Coraline style remake of this

[anti-antifamclovin]

Roald Dahl is the master of imagination. He wrote most of my childhood favorites and I still love them to this day

[lorealk]

The grandmother was so warm and sweet love her

[SubjectRandom]

One of the best films made.
Scared me hugely but only because it was very well made.
I have more and more respect for this film.

[avawilson]

Just read the witches book. it's very good!

[India.H]

I NEVER KNEW THIS EXISTED, OH MY STARS

[carlitocool]

[juliag]
