Something witchy this way comes when you watch The Craft: Legacy online! The Blumhouse Productions sequel to the 1996 cult classic is streaming now via premium video on demand — just in time for Halloween.

Much like the original film, The Craft: Legacy follows four aspiring teenage witches who get more than they bargained for as they lean into their newfound powers.

The Craft wasn't a big hit when it first came out but quickly gained a devoted following. Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, and Rachel True starred as outcast teens whose pursuit of witchcraft comes with negative repercussions.

In The Craft: Legacy, the witchy horror is passed down to a new generation, played by Cailee Spaeny, Gideon Adlon, Lovie Simone and Zoey Luna. And there's a cameo from the original that's sure to please fans.

It comes from Blumhouse Productions, the studio behind Get Out, Insidious, Paranormal Activity and The Purge — so you know it's going to be scary.

The Craft: Legacy reviews

Here's a roundup of The Craft: Legacy reviews.

The New York Times: "... a disappointing distillation of the original that’s mostly devoid of personality"

Entertainment Weekly: "... for all its good intentions, the glossy production comes off like a feature-length episode of a network teen drama; nary a frame hints at the arresting energy of the edgy sleepover staple."

IGN: "Lister-Jones recaptures the magic of the original by welcoming the audience into a cool coven with warmth and radiant leads. It's a pleasure to tag along with this dynamic squad, whether they're dabbling in telekinesis, flirting with a crush, or taking on the forces of evil and misogyny. "

CinemaBlend: "The witches are refreshingly diverse young talents, with a cast made up of relative newcomers. And these four women have a palpable chemistry that helps buoy the movie."

IndieWire: "While a messy third act hampers its power, it arrives at a final twist to bring things full circle, setting the course for what could very well be a brand new chapter in a franchise overdue for new life."

The Craft: Legacy main cast

The Craft: Legacy cast is led by the four actresses playing the teen witches: Cailee Spaeny as Lily, Gideon Adlon as Frankie, Lovie Simone as Tabby and Zoey Luna as Lourdes.
