Sebastian D Nov 9 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.

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 See more Keisha R Sep 8 This has to be the worst sequel of all time. See more Matty D @Matty927 Sep 3 I wanted to like this film, but it made it difficult to. The Craft: Legacy plays like the spark notes of the greatest hits from the 90’s original, building very little tension and failing to have fun along the way. While the cast is good in their roles, clearly giving it their all, they are failed by a script that refuses to create any compelling characters. Whereas the original film built interesting and empathetic backstories for each of the four girls, this Legacy sequel doesn’t seem to care or want to. This is supposed to be a film about sisterhood, but three of the four main girls aren’t given any sense of character development. Then, there’s the third act twist, which seems to be tailored for a different film (like a sequel to The Stepfather). As a horror movie, it doesn’t work—it lacks suspense and genuine scares. In the end, The Craft: Legacy is simply a silly movie and best viewed as a case study in how to create a middle-of-the-road sequel that—thankfully—doesn’t tarnish the cult classic reputation of the original.

The story is very bad, the cast can't connect and the villain is a joke. See more Read all reviews
