Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A vegetarian Los Angeles couple return from vacation to find that her father, a widower (Stander), has married a chain-smoking carnivorous weirdo (Davis) and undergone a worrying personality change. The crack-voiced stepmother has a familiar, a cigarette-smoking cat, and a seductive daughter (Carrera), who from time to time appears to take over her body. A ramshackle supernatural spoof, beset with production difficulties, in which Bette Davis made her last, best forgotten screen appearance.Author: JPy
