The Addams Family
When a man claiming to be long-lost Uncle Fester reappears after 25 years lost, the family plans a celebration to wake the dead. But the kids barely have time to warm up the electric chair before Morticia begins to suspect Fester is fraud when he can't recall any of the details of Fester's life.
Critics Sentiment
Gordon unleashes a hurricane using the magical book against Abigail
Abigail and Tully capture and torture Morticia for vault access
The film drops to its lowest point during Morticia's torture sequence before soaring to its peak with Gordon's spectacular magical hurricane climax.
The Addams Family maintains consistently strong sentiment throughout most of its runtime, with particular praise for the cast performances and Gothic atmosphere. The film peaks during its supernatural climax and family bonding moments, while only stumbling slightly during the darker torture sequence. Critics consistently celebrated the faithful adaptation and the perfect casting choices, especially Raul Julia, Anjelica Huston, and Christina Ricci.
