The battle of the goody-goody has-beens explodes in trashy fury as Mary
Ingalls and Erin Walton go at each other’s
throats in this good witch/bad witch high school thriller. McDonough plays
the new girl, whose powers make her an instant target for Anderson, who
refreshingly plays an absolute bitch bent on running the school and winning
her man (Cassidy, here harboring a dark secret – he drinks!) back
from the new chick. Throw in an older generation of witches who aren’t
amused by the frilly-bloused catfighting going on at the school, a white-hot
woodshop telekenisis fight, and Vanna White, and you’ve got all the
makings of a super-trashy Carrie knockoff that’s
got to be seen. Sure it’s like a hundred other teen witchcraft movies
(The Craft, Jennifer, Teen Witch) – but they don’t
have Mary Ingalls fucking up her mother with black magic! |
