The Craft: Legacy (2020) Movie Review
The Craft: Legacy (2020), directed by Zoe Lister-Jones, is a sequel to the 1996 cult classic The Craft. It follows a new group of teenage witches, led by high school student Lily, who discovers her powers after relocating to a new town. While the film aims to capture the essence of its predecessor, it falls short in suspense and character development. The themes of female empowerment and sisterhood are present but feel diluted. Although visually modern with impressive special effects, the plot often veers into predictability, lacking the edge of the original. Ultimately, The Craft: Legacy may resonate with younger audiences but leaves long-time fans wanting more.
