"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.

There is a scene in this movie where where the group of girls play naked ring around the cauldron. It may be the most exciting scene in the movie, if you block out the one very large girl. This rip-off of The Craft is duller than a church on Sunday. The picture on the poster even looks like Fairuza Balk. There isn't anything to watch except for the curiosity of seeing an early Clea Duvall, a naughty Sherri Rappaport, and a nunny Jennifer Rubin. The plot is basically the same as The Craft, a group of girls play with magic and pay for it, but without any decent actors or good effects, it's forgettable. My favorite scene is Rappaport's topless dance in her Catholic school girl outfit, for obvious reasons.

This movie is absolutely terrible. If you want to see a movie that deals with the same content (witchcraft) yet has a much better story line, see "The Craft." However, if you want to see a movie dealing with many many nude teenage witches, this is probably up your alley. Sorry, it was just terrible.

Group of unexcited Catholic school girls, forced to board in for Easter Break decide it would be tons of fun to play with fire when they re-enact ancient voodoo/witchcraft curses. Poor (not to mention obvious) rip-off of THE CRAFT is lame pretty much the whole way through until the surprise climax ending and resolution. But, just because the last 2 minutes before credits is great, I wouldn't say that justifies BLOCKBUSTER rental prices. The movie is still lame.
