The ghoulish clan made famous in Charles Addams' cartoons and the '60s TV show make their big-screen debut in this horrifically funny hit comedy. Has long-lost Uncle Fester come back after 20 years in the Bermuda Triangle, or is the bald stranger at the Addams door an impostor? Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, Christopher Lloyd, Christina Ricci, Dan Hedaya, and InchThingInch star; directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. 101 min.

Addams Family (2019) The Addams Family follows the spooky, eccentric clan as their peaceful life in isolation is disrupted by a meddling reality TV host whose perfect suburb project clashes with their macabre style. Featuring a starry voice cast including Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, and Chloë Grace Moretz, the film blends offbeat humor with themes of individuality and acceptance. While critics gave mixed reviews-praising the animation and cast but noting a loss of the original's dark edge-it found box office success and appeals to both nostalgic fans and younger audiences.
