Jack Nicholson was born to play the devil, and in George Miller's adaptation of John Updike's novel he plays it for all he's worth. As a wolfish womanizer summoned by three bored women in a picturesque New England town, he's sating all of his appetites with a rakish grin. Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer play the women who discover their untapped magical powers by accident. The smart and sexy singles, out of place in the conservatism of their village, find happiness, however briefly, in the arms and bed of the libidinous devil, but he's got his own ulterior motives. Miller revels in the sensual display of sex, food, and magic, whipping up a storm of effects that finally get out of hand in an overblown ending. It's a handsome film with strong performances all around, but the mix of anarchic comedy and supernatural horror doesn't always gel and Miller seems to lose the plot in his zeal for cinematic excitement. The performances ultimately keep the film aloft: the hedonistic joy that Nicholson celebrates with every leering gaze and boorish vulgarity is almost enough to make bad form and chauvinism cool. --Sean Axmaker

- This movie was made almost 20 years ago and all the femaleactors look almost the same, hows that for witchcraft and a good plastic surgeon. Jack, however, hasen't faired as well, but he'll always be the devil to me. He's just so good in every movie he does. My favorite line in this movie was, Jack was having tea with Susan Sarandon, she was explaining to him that the estate he just bought had a dark history about
witches, Jack scoffs at this and says, " The whole witchcraft scare was invented by the male medical profession that wanted to get ... Read More

- Social commentary degenerates into middling horror picThree frustrated single women (Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer) inadvertently call forth the Devil (or a devil) in an idyllic small town. The entire cast is very good, with Jack Nicholson being an especially inspired choice as the satanic Daryl Van Horn. Veronica Cartwright also stands out as the town busybody. The film is most interesting in the beginning, as it appears that we will be watching a sly criticism of conventional morality, but the script quickly goes astray. It appears ... Read More
