Critics Consensus

Although director Zoe Lister-Jones has forged a new path for the weirdos of today, The Craft: Legacy's spells may only enchant fans of the original.

What doesn't work in 90-odd minutes would fare better laid bare in an eight-episode series. Gee, where's that spell when you need it?

Though this horror sequel about a coven of teen witches wastes time on delivering shocks instead of developing character, the feminist fire of filmmaker Zoe Lister-Jones sees to it that there's more here than a Halloween throwaway.

The Craft: Legacy never quite lives up to its promise. It’s distressing because there is a lot of charm between its frames, working hard to wriggle its way out and steal a little sun.

We could have had a new, updated, femme-fantasy future cult classic. Instead, we have this forgettable mess.

3/5

The original film relied heavily on special effects, but The Craft: Legacy eschews visual gimmickry for character development.

I absolutely loved the first Craft movie. Great cast and a fun story has made it worth repeated viewings over the years. I don't even want to spend time listing everything that was wrong with this one, because it's everything. If you enjoyed this movie, never recommend movies to anyone ever again.

A Witchy Sequel Flop. The Craft: Legacy is a disappointing sequel that squanders its witchy revival with clichéd teen drama and a shallow script that prioritizes aesthetics over substance, turning potential empowerment horror into vapid fluff. Cailee Spaeny’s Lily teases vulnerability, but the coven—Virginia Gardner, Lovie Simone, Zoey Luna—comes off as interchangeable archetypes, their arcs diluted by predictable revenge and romance tropes. Michelle Monaghan’s enigmatic teacher hints at menace, but the narrative meanders without the original’s edgy bite. The 2020s push for inclusive YA horror feels forced, with glossy visuals masking a story that repeats 1996 beats without evolving. What could have been a fresh take on witchcraft and trauma devolves into forgettable scares and underdeveloped themes, a middling misfire that wastes its diverse cast and fails to cast a spell.

I was excited to watch the movie, but that quickly turned to dissapointment. The characters were not compelling and the entire movie felt too much like it was trying too hard to be like the first, but it doesn't even come close to it
