The Craft: Legacy

"This more PG and PC version (although it deserves brownie points for its frank depictions of certain rites of passage) telegraphs its twists, borrows Marvel’s “with great power comes great responsibility” message and loses some of the original’s edge by slowly devolving into a kind of Riverdale-meets-Blumhouse’s Black Christmas."

"These are confident, independent young women even before they harness the mysteries of the occult, which makes for a gentler, more carefree take on the material."

"It is a noble effort, if an ultimately doomed one."

"Aside from composer Heather Christian's cool techno theme on the end credits - which is far more memorable than the timid scoring throughout - Legacy left me less than spellbound."

"A smart, edgy, wickedly funny and wild ride from the talented writer-director Zoe Lister-Jones..."

"Zoe Lister-Jones' new take on the 1996 cult classic misses why the original works."

"Looking to cast a spell of its own, The Craft: Legacy tries some new tricks. It's just a shame that for all the worthwhile additions, it's sometimes more toil than bubble."

"A frustrating franchise-forward choice aside, this sequel is wickedly fun and bewitching."
