Ratings and reviews

This is basically the same Hollywood prepackaged film that they've done a million times before. For example The Craft. Only in this instead of girls it's boys. Then 1 of the boys gets power hungry and wants all the magic, killing the rest of the group off except for the so called chosen warlock. Who is the only one who can stop the bad kid, save the town, get the girl, all while having perfectly coiffed hair. Typical hero saves day. All that being said its an ok popcorn film.

Some if the cheesiest lines come from this movie. All of the actors look near identical. At one point in the movie a character transforms into another character, but you have to rewind to make sure it isn't the same actor

There was nothing outstanding about it yet it was still entertaining. There was a cliff hanger since no body was found at the end, however they protected the first movie by not trying to force a sequel.
