Blumhouse's Der Hexenclub

What a misfire this movie was. The plot made zero sense, the new characters were entirely without nuance or development, and the visual effects looked like a bad Instagram filter.

It felt like the writer was so concerned with making the central cast come across as perfectly moralistic do-gooders, that they forgot they where writing teenagers. When a male (Timmy) is the most interesting and fleshed out character in a Craft sequel, you've done something horribly wrong.

You'll see quite a few moments in the trailer that never showed up in the actual film, which leads me to think that the heavy hand of an editor was involved in this one. I knew this movie was seriously in trouble when the central conflict wasn't even introduced until the last twenty minutes.

This feels like the Nickelodeon version of The Craft, with all of the original film's edges systematically filed down to smooth nubs that won't injure anyone if they accidentally bump up against it.

It's great to see a mainstream teen movie with a diverse quartet of leads but, unfortunately, none of the new generation of witches in Zoe Lister-Jones' 'The Craft: Legacy' are as interesting as in the original, cult favorite 'The Craft' (Andrew Fleming, 1996). The story is thin and rushed - with half-baked social commentaries about being yourself, toxic masculinity, and girl power, the characters are underdeveloped and lifeless, and most of the acting is either amateurish or downright bad. Lousy.

Honestly this was such a disappointment to see. This movie contains more like a cliche teen high school movie elements instead of thriller/horror. I personally can't see any horror items in it. I hate how they never mentioned main characters' backstories or their daily lives. And there were SO many plotholes that i can't catch up while watching. Literally I'm so disappointed rn just go and watch the original one and don't waste ur time watching this. In the end I'd like these characters so much if writers wrote them better. But with that many unanswered questions in the plot and zero backstory on main characters... a no from me

I've never made a review until now... I'm a HUGE fan of the first since it came out when I was a younger kid. Still remains one of the best movies from my childhood.

So while I had small expectations from the trailer but I still had an open mind going into it.

The cons definitely outweigh the pros.

Cons: There was ALOT of unanswered questions, lots of things were thrown at your randomly, the scenes were rushed, the effects were boring/very cheesy af, and the majority of the actors mostly the girls and parents were very cringy. And the way the humor and comedic relief was thrown in just wasn't it. And It just felt so underwhelming. And it is def built around a Gen Z audience instead of the older audience who loved the original and made it a cult classic Pros: it had some potential, the main actress who played Lily was ok. The actor who played Tommy was better and the best of the cast. Probably because of the actual and only character development and was very well played. Not to sound harsh but that's about it.

In the end this whole plotline seems like something a high school teenager would've wrote for a English creative writing story.

Very disappointed but not surprised.

I was excited for the movie and was glad it wasn't an exact copy of the original, but it was just flat. Honestly the last 10 seconds of the movie was the BEST part and if you watch it, you will know why. Some of the writing was just not relevant. I feel I know nothing about the main characters after watching it.
