Nothing will ever make 2019's "Black Christmas" or 2023's "The Exorcist: Believer" good, but if defenders of those movies have any brains, they'll remember to point to this as an even more egregious example of bastardized name recognition bullshit in cinematic form. Even David Gordon Green didn't disrespect Ellen Burstyn the way this movie insults Fairuza Balk. None of which is to say that Neve Campbell, Rachel True and Robin Tunney are entirely spared by this movie, since associating 1996's "The Craft" or its characters with the personality vacuum kids and all-around tone deafness of this movie is itself an insult. You will believe a woman's relationship with a blatantly evil bad guy played by David Duchovny and the ensuing battle (if you could call it that) between him and her daughter (Cailee Spaney) is the most boring foundation for a movie about witches ever, but you probably won't believe what an afterthought witchiness and personality are to a movie literally piggybacking off of "The (FUCKING) Craft". Don't bother with this abortion and just rewatch the original instead. Forget this even exists.
