Episode 68 – The Craft: Legacy

January 26, 2021New Release, Remake, Sequel, VOD ReleaseCailee Spaeny, Cam, David Duchovny, Michelle Monaghan, Practical Magic, Soft Reboot, The Craft, The Neon Demon, The Witches of Eastwick, Witches, Zoe Lister-Jonesshockdoctors

While the film’s message of (trans-inclusive) female empowerment is certainly more enlightened than the “women can’t handle ultimate power” implications of the 1996 original, The Craft: Legacy also loses much of its predecessor’s trashy fun, and doesn’t replace it with much else.
