TheCraftLegacy seems to betray the spirit of the original, nearly-perfect movie
Photo: Columbia/Kobal/Shutterstock Among all the witchcraft-themed media from the ‘80s and ‘90s — a bountiful, gorgeous genre — one stands out: The Craft. It is a nearly perfect film, excelling in all tropes integral to the category: good outfits, aggressive sisterhood, cute spells easily done at home, having a cover of “How Soon Is Now” by the Smiths on the soundtrack.
While the original Craft does have dark and intriguing moments — attempted ritualistic murder, for instance — its charm lies in the fact that it makes witchcraft seem chill and aspirational, a nice bonding activity between friends . It starts in a typical teen-movie fashion: A new girl moves to a new town and has to find her place at an unfamiliar high school.
A lot about the trailer for the updated version, titled The Craft: Legacy, seems to betray the spirit of the original: It is somber, muted, and set to a haunting cover of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” though no one seems to have fun at any point.
