neutral · AI labelView post →TBH this film really reminded me of Roald Dahl's the Witches in that Aunt Gladys comes across similar to the titular witches in terms of a creature doing an uncanny valley impersonation of a nice old woman. Funnily enough despite the R rating it arguably has a happier ending than the OG book.

Three women in a small town accidentally conjure the devil, they have lots of fun together, he knocks them up and after they banish him everyone lives happily ever after. That's it.

A great case giving great performances. A real "I support women's rights and women's wrongs," kind of movie. Jack Nicholson here: a certified freak.
