The Craft: Legacy

 So, years after the original, enjoyable, witch movie The Craft, there is now on Netflix a sort of sequel / soft reboot of the movie.

So one saturday afternoon, we put it on and see what it was all about.

The movie starts with three girls and aspiring witches trying to freeze time using magic, but they fail as they need a fourth member in their coven to effectively complete the ritual.  Lily moves into town with her therapist and mother Helen, and befirends the other girls after being mocked by her classmates for having her period.

When she telekinetically assaults the biggest bully of them all, Timmy, the girls see they might have found their fourth member.  She takes revenge on him, casting a spell that makes him all sensitive, and he even confesses he is actually bisexual.  His partner's father, Adam (David Duchovny does a fun job here), looks caring though, but it soon turns out he might have perhaps a hidden agenda.

When Lily uses her magic to have Timmy kiss her, the other girls break her connection to magic as she broke the rules of the coven.  Timmy commits suicide shortly after, and at the funeral her mother confesses she isn`t her biological mom, but that she is the child of a patient of hers.  Buth then she shapeshifts into Adam, who wants to take her magical powers for his own.

The other girls intervene, and together they overcome Adam, burning him to a crisp.  Lily finally gets to see her real mother, who turns out to be none other then Nancy Downs from the original movie.

So yeah, it's a movie with witches.  It won`t be remembered in the annals of movie history, which for a saturday afternoon flick is also good news, as that meant it wasn't terribly bad either I guess...
