...evoke emotions. Bayona, working in the old-dark-house genre, is already a master of creepy mood and gorgeous visions. The colors in the house are rich browns, until night falls and a luscious darkness stripes the screen. Bayona sets his camera relentlessly gliding, creeping, tracking toward the eeriest mystery, or backing away from it to reflect our fear. He loves to lead us on treasure hunts and into secret compartments: doors and drawers, which may suddenly burst open or slam shut, and yet another, unknown portal, hidden behind wallpaper, where the last revelation awaits...

Hey, look who's here! It's my cousin!" The dolls may then break into a round...
Things begin to turn nasty once the mysterious Darryl Van Home has settled in at one of Eastwick's eeriest old houses. Updike drops devilishly loud hints about who Van Home really is. Alexandra thinks of him as the "dark prince" and recognizes "his diabolical arts." When the witches join him in his oversize steamy teak tub for the first of a series of baths and orgies, Darryl asks, "You kids think this is hot? I set the thermostat 20° higher when it's just...
