Member Rating:  
The Witches of Eastwick, a memorable comedy with a dark edge, is based upon a novel by John Updike. On Thursday nights three female friends -- Alex (Cher), Sukie (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Jane (Susan Sarandon) -- meet to chug martinis, learn Chinese aphrodisiac cooking and lament the scarcity of eligible men. As they sit around, they fantasize about and describe their idea of the ideal male. Arriving in town the following day is Satan, disguised as mysterious stranger Darrell Van Horn (Jack Nicholson). One by one, Van Horne seduces each of the women. Then, strange things begin to happen. When the town matriarch Felicia (Veronica Cartwright) publicly denounces Van Horne, she sustains a nasty compound fracture. When she forces her editor husband to publish a story about Van Horne's sexual antics, Darrell gets his revenge with revoltingly large amounts of cherries. The women now see that they may be in danger and begin to plot their escape. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

The dialogs, camera work, music, acting, everything is perfect. Note, it's not a horror movie at all and not exactly a comedy, even though it has some funny moments. I think it's a sarcastic way to describe rutine suburb life. Probably needs to be watched more than once. One of my all time favorites.

Weird but entertaining movie. If you like all-star casts, this one has it. It was neat to see the actors young again.

Yes   |   No

The Witches of Eastwick has been around a long time, but I still enjoy watching Jack Nicholson. My boyfriend had never seen this movie and he enjoyed it. It has a great cast and is a great comedy. You have to see it.

Yes   |   No


Katie S.

Not a great movie, but it's worth watching just for the acting performance by Jack Nicholson.

Yes   |   No


Candice D.

I love this movie. The players are extraordinary and it has become a timeless classic. Who wouldn't love a movie with Jack, Susan, Michelle & Cher?

Yes   |   No

Daryl was a classic and definately the three woman were a blast. Way to go three girls when you made a vodoo doll and Daryl went on a time of his life. There was no getting rid of him as he showed up on all the tv screens in the house and came back once again. The three woman really knew how to get at Daryl. All though you have to read what the characters are saying in a subtitle it was well worth it. Way to go producers of this show and great actors.
