See rating) I'd say that is the only way to see it. Trapped. With nowhere to go. And having hit the bottom of the viewing que. I had the chance to re-watch the original a few years back. The original was very much a product of its time. Nothing monumental. An amusing flick. And parts of it hold up well. It has character growth and a compelling narrative. This film does not. I'm pretty sure this is the most woke film I've ever seen. Girls fawning because they guy they brainwashed into being nice said he was "cis-gendered" at one point. While the rest of her "coven" are all supposed to be unique and different, really they can all be treated as one character. Its ironic 3 characters who could not be trying harder to be different all being functionally identical so far as the plot is concerned. OK. Positive things. The coven "clique" was believable as friendship. David Duchovny didn't have much to do, but he did it well. And the Melissa Monaghan/lead mother daughter dynamic was nice to see. It was quirky and wholesome. Not dysfunctional. So of course it promptly vanished when plot had to happen. There is the potential for interesting ideas that went unrealized in this film. Largely for the sake of a LGBTQ+ woke fever dream about how people act and behave. My only issue with that is, when everyone is on the same page from the get go (except the villain who is over the top cartoon patriarchy) it saps any tension and sense of plot progression. Can't grow or learn when you're already what the author considers the ideal. Well now we know. I hope all involved move on to better projects.… Expand

Imagine The Craft, but it's a Disney Channel PG movie.
No scares, magic now sparkles, everyone is friends with no conflict and everyone is very socially aware.

This movie was just terrible. It has more montages than Rocky IV with no character development. Total waste of time and money. If you want to see a fun movie with character arch's and some plot development watch the original.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There's not an ounce of magic in this dire sequel. Rushed, incoherent story, David Duchovny was more zombie than warlock and next to no character development. The original had a bit of an (oc)cult following. The sequel is more daft than Craft. Avoid.… Expand

Richard Roeper gives this an 88 LOL. SO much for those two actually having standards! This movie was actually tolerable until approximately half way through when the LGBQT and feminist crap and all the politics started showing up. TheyRichard Roeper gives this an 88 LOL. SO much for those two actually having standards! This movie was actually tolerable until approximately half way through when the LGBQT and feminist crap and all the politics started showing up. They literally made the main guy character into a complete tool. It became pretty much unwatchable at this point. The politics in this film completely destroys it.… Expand

It's a rehash of the decent original but offers a weaker, poorly written mess of a movie. It attempts to tie into the original but only left me thinking how ridiculous it was that the main character initially experiences the exact same storyline as the characters in the first film. There also a fair amount of wokeness, a tiny pinch of BLM and a generous amount guys hiding their sexuality (because every guy is secretly gay according to Hollywood).

The ending is laughable. David Duchovny must have fallen on hard times. Avoid at all costs. Watch the original instead.… Expand

This is not Blumhouse worthy. This is a Disney production undercover.

Not at all relatable to the original. Should have an entirely different name. PG13? A 10 years old kid would laugh at the screen. If you make a movie with basically 7This is not Blumhouse worthy. This is a Disney production undercover.

If you make a movie with basically 7 payed actors, pick priorities. A trans-Asian-plus size-blond-deaf-Jew-vegan-with an Irish accent does not make ONE SINGLE character interesting or deep. It’s a mess. As a gay, black and Asian I don’t feel connected to any character at all, but that is what they tried here: check every box so the movie will connect with you somehow.

Fail. Big time.… Expand

WOKE, boring junk! Why is this in the Horror genre? Just STOP! This Craft Legacy, following after the original is laughable and junk! It had so much potential but it had to go down the WOKE drain instead
