...performances are in perfect high pitch. Cher and her screen sisters all catch the edge of flinty, frantic resilience; these three could bewitch any prospective devil. There are nifty turns from Veronica Cartwright (as the local prude) and Helen Lloyd Breed (as a sprightly oldster). Then there's Nicholson. Well! He might have been rehearsing for this role ever since The Shining. If he was over the top there, he is stratospheric here. He is a beast on two legs, grunting, slavering, pawing anyone, and never mind the scratches. Does Jack stink like Daryl? No, he is gloriously rank. Sulfuric...
...Working is the only way out of poverty, but it means putting children into day care, which is unaffordable. "The typical cost of full-time care is about $3,000 a year for one child, or one-third of the poverty-level income for a family of three," says Helen Blank of the Children's Defense Fund in Washington.

...style and pace that can distract the audience from the improbabilities always inherent in this genre is quite beyond him. It is rather late in the picture before the filmmakers briefly get their act together. For no very good reason, the meanies decide to visit upon the heroine, Helen Shaver, a humongous zit. Far beyond the curative powers of even the large-economy-size Clearasil, this ever growing pimple symbolizes the worst social nightmares of the adolescents who are the prime audience for occult nonsense, especially since -- eeyuu! -- popping it turns out to be worse than living with...
