agincourt1914 This updated version is overall predictable but otherwise excellent and suspenseful. However, a few "plot holes" and unanswered questions remain in my memory. For instance, how and to what extent did the character Lisa Bagley fit in with The Five? What was her relationship to the cult? Was she being used as a front to lure Karen/Beth to the group? By the climax of the movie it was obvious that Lisa and her friends were not directly involved with The Five, yet Lisa was killed by them. As far as the film editing was concerned, the practice of using slow motion to emphasize many key scenes was overused, as was the annoying "crow calls" and overhead views of Karen/Beth while she was being observed by some of the shapeshifters.Both Shannen Doherty and Julie Benz delivered standout performances, as did Kate Jackson. I found the character Paige(the black girl) very annoying. Her forceful and heated delivery of her lines contributed nothing to the film and would have been better left out. Jenny Hammersmith was also repulsive and in terms of looks and wardrobe truly needed a major workover.

Maria Ranieri I watched this film on Cable in Sydney here we have Foxtel and when I saw that Shannen Doherty was in this film I thought I'll watch it as it might be interesting, well it was Shannen Doherty makes you feel like she takes you in the film and you feel quite involved. She takes her acting seriously and does a good job and has proved to be an excellent actress. Not like the days of 90210 (which I enjoyed) which she got bad press for and charmed but I also liked her in Charmed it suited her. I hope to see her in more films as she has great potential. She has a natural beauty that most other actresses would need to get under the knife for. And so what if she does a lot of this types of films, series, they cast her she makes it she must be hot and it pays the rent doesn't it. Shannen - You Go Girl.

Alex Brown Not only one of the worst titles for a film, but actually complete nonsense all round. Shannon "annoying actress of the 90's" Doherty reprises her annoying Beverly Hills type teenager role as she tries to find out what happened with her sister's suicide.The phrase for this is predictable rubbish. Don't bother.

Victor Field Remaking TV shows as big-screen movies is one thing (what makes a TV show a less justifiable source of material than a book or play or something? That's snobbery for you - as Lily Tomlin said, when you read a lot you're well read, but when you watch a lot of TV you're not well viewed), but when you start to remake TV movies, it's hard not to wonder if someone's pushing it.Not having seen the original I have no idea if it's an improvement over the new "Satan's School For Girls," but I wouldn't be surprised if it was - much-maligned though TV movies are, you can find some gems there like "The Jericho Mile," "Son of the Morning Star," "The Day After," "The Night Stalker," "The Executioner's Song," "Pursuit," "Brian's Song" (which was just redone for TV) and "Duel" (which as long as Steven Spielberg is around will probably never be). But this tale, which like the original was made by Aaron Spelling's company, is sadly a lot closer to tosh like "Amazons," "Manhunt," "Fer-de-Lance" and "Detour To Terror.""Sleeping with your history professor is so cliched," one of Shannen Doherty's friends says of the Julie Benz character in a pot/kettle/black moment, since she herself is a loudmouthed African-American student at the college around which the "action" revolves. With writing one step up from "Scooby-Doo," a hole-filled plot, chintzy effects (like the red eyes symbolizing that the crows, dogs etc are from the devil), acting that won't give the cast of "The West Wing" any sleepless nights and the worst disguising of locations since "The Frighteners" failed to convincingly pass off New Zealand as California (the movie's supposed to be set in Washington State, but it's all too obvious well before the end credits that it was filmed in Canada - Montreal, to be exact), this movie is everything people who hate "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" think that fine show is - silly, cheesy, and laughable. In truth, barring cast member Benz the two have nothing in common, including quality.Watch "The Craft" instead. Or "Charmed." Or "Bewitched." Or "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." Or even a Winsome Witch cartoon. Or, even, the original movie.
