It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

... View MoreLet me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
... View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
... View More"Little Witches" follows a group of girls at a Catholic boarding school in Southern California who are holed up together over the Easter vacation. Some rowdy, some bored, and some sexually repressed, they group together and begin dabbling with the occult, and unleash evil beyond their imagination.Often footnoted as the cut-out bin-equivalent to "The Craft," "Little Witches" is drawing on a lengthy tradition of Catholic schoolgirl occult exploitation that has been a trend dating back to the television films of the seventies—"Satan's School for Girls" and "The Possessed" come to mind. In fact, "Little Witches" is really not all that different from those films, aside from the fact that its straight-to-video release allowed for gratuitous nudity and other material that would've never made it on television. In spite of this, the film very much feels like a made-for-TV movie, with indolent cinematography, a distracting musical score, and anemic performances from just about all involved.In short, yes, this is a terrible film, one whose main attraction for many is the abundance of female flesh and sacrilegious antics. The flip side? There is definitely an audience for it, and though I can't necessarily count myself as one of them, I can understand where people find the charm in it. The film is peppered with fun scenes, and the over-the-top ending is reminiscent of the hokiest of the "Children of the Corn" sequels. Jennifer Rubin plays the authoritative nun/mother figure of the film, while a young Clea DuVall has a small part as one of the sorores Satanae; Sheeri Rappaport plays the ringleader of the girls, while Mimi Rose plays (unconvincingly) the film's moral center. Zelda Rubinstein also makes a rather amusing token appearance.Overall, "Little Witches" is a generally weak film that is also a vainglorious B-movie triumph in some sense. It's technically quite abysmal on most accounts, but it also oddly seems to be aware of this. There is fun to be had for the right frame of mind (or right viewer), but at the end of the day, it's still a cheap and easy Satanic sisterhood flick that, while more gratuitous than its peers, does not rise above them. 4/10.
... View MoreThis is not a great movie, much less a good one. But it was destined to go direct to video, so I shouldn't waste my time gnawing on the film's stupidity.For all the guys out there...this movie has some great nude scenes. The girl who played the lead has that Katie Holmes sort of look. And she does a striptease in the film. Way cool!If you feel like watching something witty and suspenseful like The Craft, this is not the one to watch. But if you feel in the mood for gratuitous nudity...check this one out!
... View More"Little Witches" is one of those silly, sloppy, T&A-loaded Straight-To-Video "B" Horror flicks that you just gotsta luv!! :=8) It sports poor fx, hilarious dialogue, inane black magic mumbo-jumbo, loads of "B" actors you've seen in udder flicks, and copious amounts of nekkid catholic school girl flesh. It's one of those kinda moovies that the herd luvs to pop into the vcr late at night, with a greasy pizza and a 6-pack of moo juice, knowing full well that their brains will not be required for the next 90 minutes or so. In which a gaggle of giggling school girls, left to rot over Easter break at their Catholic boarding school, discover the "black arts", and summon the Big Evil Dude to do the nekkid cow boogie. ;=8) Faith(Mimi Reichmeister) is the sweet, smart, virginal, heroic snugglebunny who just wants to do the right thing; naturally, she saves the day when the Giant Evil Scaly 3-Mouthed Demon Thing comes for munchies. Jamie(Sheeri Rappaport, appearances in "NYPD Blue" & "Xena" tv shows)is the naughty, abused bad girl, who spends moost of the film without clothing, and who gets dragged to hell for being a slutty, power-hungry b**ch. The sharp-eyed will spot Clea DuVall(Invisible Girl in tv's "Buffy:The Vampire Slayer", "The Faculty")in the gaggle, who gets skewered by a scaly demon horn. Snuggly "B" starlet Jennifer Rubin("A Nightmare on Elm Street 3", "The Crush", "Screamers")plays a nun(yeah, right...)who is also the Guardian of the Book That Summons the Giant Evil Scaly 3-Mouthed Demon Thing, and also sports a nifty tattoo! Jack Nance(tv's "Twin Peaks", "Love and a .45") plays a soon-to-be sliced up priest, and good ol' Zelda Rubenstein ("Poltergeist") plays a tiny poisoned nun with a red splotch on her head. The herd howled over such cheesy dialogue as: "Do you have any sins of a non-dietary nature?", and "This is an ancient book of black spells - AND IT REALLY WORKS!". If silly "B" fun, coupled with oodles of nekkid cuties, is what yer after, then the MooCow is here to tell ya this is yer twisted cup of java. Haphazardly directed by Jane Simpson (Simpson, eh...), and sporting moore gaping plot holes than Kathy Lee Gifford's reputation, "Little Witches" is no "Sixth Sense", but believe me you won't mind. The MooCow says order up a double pepperoni & fire up the vcr for "Little Witches", and let the silliness roll! ;=8)
... View MoreThis movie was not only bad it was offensive and degrading. Im sure that the core audience of this film is Straight, male and in the age range of 12-24.It was simply a skin flick in the semblance of a horror movie. This movie should be called "Naked Bad Actresses That Kill!!" I feel bad for the people who enjoy GOOD horror movies and mistook this for one and had to sit through it. I also feel bad for anyone who practices Witchcraft and saw this piece of garbage, real witches simply dont kill people, sure some go skyclad (naked) during some rituals, but you can bet the acuracy of that detail was by mistake. Even if it was unheard of for real witches to go naked for some rituals this movie still would have been soaked with nudity and simplemindedness. Also, did anyone notice how similar the lead character and Fairuza Balk from "The Craft" look alike? A coincidence? I think not. DO NOT RENT PURE FILTH!!!!
