The Craft: Legacy (2020) serves as a contemporary sequel to the 1996 cult classic, blending horror, fantasy, and teen drama into a modern witch's tale. Directed by Zoe Lister-Jones, the film follows Lily, a teenager who moves in with her mother's new boyfriend and his three sons. At her new school, she quickly connects with three other outcast girls—Tabby, Lourdes, and Frankie—who reveal they are witches practicing magic together. As Lily discovers her own latent powers, the quartet forms a coven, exploring spells that initially bring them confidence and unity, but soon spiral into darker, unintended consequences, particularly when their magic targets a popular boy named Timmy.

The film attempts to update the original's themes for a Gen-Z audience, focusing on identity, empowerment, and the pitfalls of wielding power irresponsibly. Performances by Cailee Spaeny as Lily and Gideon Adlon, Lovie Simone, and Zoey Luna as her coven-mates bring earnestness to their roles, though the character development feels somewhat rushed. The direction by Lister-Jones emphasizes mood and atmosphere over sheer horror, leaning into supernatural drama with moments of humor and social commentary, such as themes of toxic masculinity and self-acceptance.

While The Craft: Legacy received mixed reviews, with criticism for its predictable plot and lower IMDb rating of 4.6, it offers a breezy, 97-minute watch for fans of teen supernatural stories. Its strengths lie in its inclusive casting and attempts to explore modern issues through a magical lens. Viewers should watch it for a light, entertaining take on witchcraft that, despite its flaws, captures the allure of magic and friendship. Available to stream online, it's a decent pick for a casual movie night with supernatural vibes.
