It’s been suggested that if Fairuza Balk had never been cast in The Craft, the movie wouldn’t be half as popular. Her unsettling bug-eyed faces and over-the-top performance were the spice needed to make the concept sing — she made us think we were looking at an actual friggin’ witch! Well, here’s a Craft continuation / remake that has no Balk anywhere in it. And sure enough, the critics didn’t like it that much. The Craft Legacy is getting pushed onto DVD and Blu-Ray less than two months after its opening, which is normally a bad sign — but then again, the flick never really got a chance to play in theaters, it being 2020 and all. If you never bought a virtual ticket, and you prefer solid physical formats, the option will soon exist. And there will be bonuses: Featurettes: Franchise Legacy Powerful Story, Magical Director 4 Alternate Scenes with an Introduction from the Director We can see one of these extended scenes right now, thanks to the studio

The critical response was usually “this is too much like Bewitched” even if the show being reviewed was nothing like Bewitched at all. For some weird reason that generation believed one show could own a copyright on an entire genre. By the time Millennials became old enough to affect TV ratings and box office numbers, it was like magic was suddenly a new idea again. The Craft arrived
