SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Leofwine_draca Ostensibly a remake of the 1970s TV witchcraft classic of the same name, SATAN'S SCHOOL FOR GIRLS in reality turns out to be a cheesy variant on the usual CHARMED storyline. Indeed it could be a feature length version of CHARMED and nobody would notice the difference, especially given the ultra-cheesy CGI effects and the presence of leading actress Shannen Doherty.The film opens promisingly with the apparent suicide of a young woman who's a student at an exclusive girls' school. Her older sister subsequently enlists at the same school in order to investigate the death, and she soon becomes a member of a witch's circle where great magic power is wielded. Sadly none of this power translates much to the screen, where everything seems subdued and laboured.The film is dull and cheesy, the worst kind of TV movie cheese there is. Incident in the storyline is limited to a couple of minor characters dying bloodlessly, and it all builds up to an ending chock-full of hilariously bad effects. It's fair to say that the acting is hardly remarkable, with a young Julie Benz (RAMBO) particularly irritating as a fellow student. Still as this is an Aaron Spelling production, the producers are happy to sit back and film the female students in (and out of) various figure-hugging attire, so they're happy.

insomniac_rod I caught this at 4:00 a.m. when obviously, there were minimal options to watch at SKY.To be honest, I didn't know the title of the movie until now because it was translated as something involving cupid. Well, I recognized Shannen Doherty and I was immediately hooked in the movie.The plot is simple to follow and deals with witchcraft but it's displayed in such a manner that it's almost comical and makes you wonder if it is an episode to any teen comedy or drama.The performances are cheap but likable. Doherty demonsrtrates that she is a talented actress. Once again, I convince myself taht Doherty had chances to become a huge star but her attitude makes her lose more than she gains.Anyways, this is a movie for fans of direct for t.v. Horror low budgeters. Although don't expect much Horror.

agincourt1914 This updated version is overall predictable but otherwise excellent and suspenseful. However, a few "plot holes" and unanswered questions remain in my memory. For instance, how and to what extent did the character Lisa Bagley fit in with The Five? What was her relationship to the cult? Was she being used as a front to lure Karen/Beth to the group? By the climax of the movie it was obvious that Lisa and her friends were not directly involved with The Five, yet Lisa was killed by them. As far as the film editing was concerned, the practice of using slow motion to emphasize many key scenes was overused, as was the annoying "crow calls" and overhead views of Karen/Beth while she was being observed by some of the shapeshifters.Both Shannen Doherty and Julie Benz delivered standout performances, as did Kate Jackson. I found the character Paige(the black girl) very annoying. Her forceful and heated delivery of her lines contributed nothing to the film and would have been better left out. Jenny Hammersmith was also repulsive and in terms of looks and wardrobe truly needed a major workover.

power-sebbe This must be the WORST movie ever! SERIOUSLY! They didn`t even bother to add a plot...until the end (like "hurry up...come up with a plot, the movie is almost over...awh, this will do")But hey...it is so incredibly FUNNY! I want this in my DVD collection, to watch over and over again! Laugh at the bad bad bad lines, lack of plot, as mentioned, and the actors who are doing their worst effort ever. Not that former 90210 actors usually says quality, but they are far more talented in anything else they ever did! And what is better then a bad bad bad bad movie? except a good one off course. Nothing!Trust me...see this movie, if you dont like scary movies, this is the movie for you ( I am easily scared, you can take this) you will laugh and laugh.So, Aaron, you are kidding, right? Because, if you are...BRILLIANT! If you aren`t...go back to teen soaps!If there are anything you would like to say to me, please contact me, I like discussing movies.
