But aren't they always? So a group of interchangeable girls find a demonic temple underneath their Catholic boarding school, and discover that a past group of students from 80 years ago tried the same thing and were all killed horribly.Despite that, they try to summon the demon, for what reason, I'm not entirely sure. I guess so no one tells them what to do anymore.Oh, when I say Hight School Girls, I mean girls in their 20s, because they never hire teenagers to actually play teenagers...Look for guest appearances by that short lady from the Poltergeist films and Eric Peirpont from Alien Nation.

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.

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.

"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)
