So perhaps it’s to be expected that The Craft: Legacy, a movie that ultimately proves to be very much a sequel and not a remake, treats the empowerment angle as a given.

They’re also realistic, bubbly, mischievous teenagers, whose innocence makes them read several years younger than the characters in the original film.

Although Waking The Witch author Pam Grossman served as a consultant on The Craft: Legacy, this film is even less of a how-to manual than its predecessor.

Duchovny’s character turns out to be a Jordan Peterson-esque author who holds workshops on reclaiming masculinity—a detail that, along with a secret Timmy shares with the girls midway through, makes this a Craft movie with a lot to say about men and boys.
