This darkly enjoyable film, based on the macabre cartoon characters created by Charles Addams and the subsequent 1960s TV series, stars Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, Christopher Lloyd and a very young Christina Ricci (as Wednesday). There’s a wafer-thin plot but plenty of opportunity for sight gags and ghoulish humour, while the cast are a sheer delight.
