Of course, it had to be Bette Davis who could disprove the old warning about scene-sharing with children — few others would have the nerve or the talent. She, however, is in her element, giving a scene-stealing performance as henchwoman to Christopher Lee's mad scientist. Lee is seeking world domination by gaining control of two extraterrestrial kids, who possess all kinds of strange powers (telekinesis, anti-gravity, cute expressions). A sequel to Escape to Witch Mountain, it's a Disney fantasy in which the usual milk-shake blandness has been spiked with an interesting touch of colour, courtesy of the film's legendary star.
