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

| Aug 8, 2021

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 17, 2021

There's a welcome female sensibility and perspective to this new version ...The problem is that most of it is so on-the-nose as to induce snickering.

| Jun 5, 2021

The Craft: Legacy doesn't hold up under the weight of the cult classic's presence and even the most dedicated of fans will struggle to find any tangible magic here.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 12, 2021

The first half had potential and lost its way completely by the end.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 11, 2021

Clunky pacing aside, everything Lister-Jones throws into the cauldron really works, and it's remarkable how it manages to feel both fresh and nostalgic.

| Mar 5, 2021

Good points and bad points to The Craft's Legacy film; ideal for its teen audience, but they deserve better writing too.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 16, 2021

The problems that lie with The Craft: Legacy is that a majority of it feels incomplete.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 29, 2021

With a bright young cast and enough good intentions, this witchy quasi-sequel to the 90s cult classic wins me over.

| Jan 29, 2021

This is not a horror movie, and doesn't try to pass itself off as one. There are a handful of mildly creepy moments, but for the most part, Legacy is content to play things pretty safe as a fun teen drama with supernatural elements.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 28, 2021

Though on a skeletal level a rehash of the first film, Legacy is at its best when it is exploring contemporary topics through the lens of its female power fantasy.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Jan 15, 2021

Jones' film gives itself a reason to exist by refining the tone and witchy plotline that's more coherent and gives its coven more of a satisfying dynamic.

| Original Score: B | Jan 12, 2021

Zoe Lister-Jones pays homage to the 1996 movie with Easter eggs sprinkled throughout however, the story never gets fully fleshed out leaving the audience a little unsatisfied and somewhat confused.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 11, 2021

Addresses the flaws of the original while also working as a standalone film.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 30, 2020

Nostalgic people will leave the cinema thinking that they have ripped us off under the good name of Blumhouse and that they have destroyed the good name of the original from 96. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.8/10 | Dec 29, 2020

It's energetic, it's endearing, it's delightful. It just isn't what it advertises itself to be: a horror movie.

| Original Score: B | Dec 28, 2020

A strong young cast with great potential, but the film falls short in the third Act, leaving you not quite satisfied.

| Original Score: B- | Dec 3, 2020

Woke witches in progressive update with language, sexuality.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2020

The odd millennial update does work, but writer/director Zoe Lister-Jones rushes a toxic masculinity subplot that robs the film of its intended empowerment.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 30, 2020

This 2020 movie attempts to recreate The Craft's magic but surprisingly fails to capture any of the fun, or frights, of the original.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 26, 2020
