So much average

One of my all time favorites.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Stuck together over the holiday season, a group of Catholic school girls find that the restoration of the neighboring church holds a sealed chamber used in witchcraft and begin formulating how to raise demons and devils without being caught.This one wasn't all that bad but really could've been a whole lot better. Most of what works here is centered around the copious nudity on display throughout here which comes off very nicely here as many of the performers are not only very worthy of doing this but it comes off much appreciated. This is quite nicely done through not only letting the girls strip down for just about any occasion possible but also in having very capable performers provide this abundance of nudity with incredibly attractive girls all throughout getting topless or even all the way naked which is quite a blessing here. That also manages to give several scenes here a lot more wiggle room than they otherwise would, as the opening attack in the middle of their sacrificial ceremony is quite enjoyable with the bizarre attack on the naked girls being far more impressive than it should be, and their later incantations in the room make for quite a nice visual in the Gothic chamber as the entire feeling is a lot more pronounced than it really should be, while at other times it tends to be quite nicely exploitative as in the scenes of them showing off for the guys or seducing people which makes this all the more fun. That makes up the other big part of this one as there's a rather fine air of Gothic dread and despair here with the promise of the school-girls in over their heads in regards to the appeal of the witchcraft and how it appeals to them with the dangerous games that they're playing. The main sequence of them using the incantations to actually go through with their plans is quite a nice overall showdown that makes for quite the fun finale as the race to use the one potion needed to keep them under control gets quite thrilling as the slowly- emerging demon hand is played off nicely as the fury-pitch to complete it in time gives this a nice set of enjoyment here that makes this quite fun. There's a few small flaws, though, mainly in the fact that there's just not a whole lot of actual witchcraft and spells on display for the majority of the film and it really takes some steam out of the film. Though the film isn't boring or tedious, it tends to showcase their troubled behavior at school in lieu of getting to the discovery of the witchcraft and their powers, making this seem to feature them getting into it by total accident after the book's discovery and then being full-on witches the next day when we get back to them after following up on the other plot-lines, and that suddenness comes off rather jerky here by contrast. There's not enough here to really give away the fact that the girls are truly into it as much as they should be considering the severity of the dark forces they're tampering with, and since there's no coercion by the main girl it all comes off pretty quickly and haphazard. The other issue here is the rather lame special effects that are just wholly unconvincing, with bland knifings that don't show any penetration, a puppet hand to simulate the demon claws rising from the mist and a whole host of similarly easily-spotted efforts employed to make this seem a lot more gruesome than it actually is, though there's just nothing about it that fools the audience. Otherwise, this one wasn't that bad.Rated R: Nudity, Graphic Violence, Language and mild drug use.

I mean, was this a student film?So, I was looking for a fun witchy flick to watch on my day off. What I got was a train wreck masked as a movie. I don't know much about the production of this, but I really hope that there is an excuse for how terrible it was. Low budget? I saw that they only had 2 weeks to film, so maybe that had something to do with it.The lighting was low and sporadic. The sound was about the same, with poor choice in music. It was both unintriguing, distracting, and predictable. The acting was as bad as a high school play... maybe worse, depends on the high school. The acting was HORRIBLE. I didn't believed any of the performances. It was almost like they picked people off the street with no skill or experience and threw them into this film on a whim. Even the plot of this was boring and I found myself looking for other things to entertain my time while this movie was playing in the background.Guys will love this though. There's plenty of naked girls to go around.

In this poor man's THE CRAFT, director Jane Simpson's LITTLE WITCHES has Catholic school girls(unfortunately having to spend their spring break at the convent)dabbling with black magic when a secret baptistery is discovered while construction is underway on the old church, and a book of spells written entirely in Latin gives instructions on how to bring forth "He who comes". Sheeri Rappaport is a naughty sex kitten whose life at home is of an abusive nature. The book of spells provides her with something interesting to do(her motivation is that this spell will give her power to no longer have others in authority telling her what to do)while stuck at the convent and her Jamie has a great influence on the other girls. Mimi Rose is the virginal Faith Ferguson, a giggly and sweet girl on the road to Stanford and a potential foil to Jamie's plans(after reciting a spell, the "horned demon" takes over control of her body and this, in turn, enslaves the other girls, besides Faith, who carry on with a ceremony which will allow Lucifer access from his dimension into ours if they are successful)if she can keep the book from their grasp. There's a spiritual guardian the Lord uses to keep Lucifer from entering our world and the identity of the person is later revealed. Jennifer Rubin(NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET III; BAD DREAMS)is Sister Sherilyn, the authoritative figure(and their teacher, also)in charge of the girls. David Lynch regular Jack Nance(ERASERHEAD)is the priest over the parish where these girls attend. Zelda Rubinstein(POLTERGEIST)pops up as another weirdo, this time an odd nun with a fixation for crucifixes(the girls avoid her like the plague)who could be the guardian who keeps the horned demon at bay(and was responsible for it's defeat at the beginning of the movie). Tommy Stork is Mimi's hunky love interest, construction worker/architect student, Daniel(also a virgin saving himself for the right girl). Early role for Clea DuVall as one of the girls who gets all caught up in the witchcraft which costs them far more than they could possibly imagine. Showcase for Rappaport who gets naked a lot and has one hell of a tantalizing striptease from her Catholic school uniform for the construction workers outside..she's really the whole show besides the interesting supporting cast of familiar faces. The ceremony at the end results in the revelation of the ugly demon trying to make it's way into our world as Faith attempts to stop it. The soundtrack consists of echoing chants from a church choir which I found more than a bit annoying after a while. There's really nothing that particularly memorable other than when the girls strip and chant while holding hands and walking in a circle around a well. Good beach front location near the church provides some much needed eye candy besides Rappaport.

I loved this movie..... It had the right ammount of rage and teen angst in it. The whole freaky nun thing was silly, but none the less added to the entertainment value of "little witches" I would say, go rent it...it's a good laugh.
