3.0 out of 5 stars CHARMED meets MEAN GIRLS, April 20, 2008

This review is from: The Initiation of Sarah (DVD)

I loved Summer Glau in FIREFLY, SERENITY and TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES, so when I saw THE INITIATION OF SARAH on Netflix, I decided to give it a try. (You might say I have a girl crush on her, and you mightn't be wrong.)

The story centers around two competing covens of witches, both set up as rival sororities on the same college campus. The "good" coven is comprised of natural-born witches - those who derive their power from Mother Earth - while the "bad" coven must occasionally feed The Eternal Flame with the blood of a very powerful natural-born witch ("The One") in order to maintain their powers. Believing newly arrived freshman pledge Sarah (Mika Boorem) to be The One, both sororities try to lure her and her fraternal twin sister, Lindsey (Summer Glau) to their side in the battle between Good and Evil.

THE INITIATION OF SARAH is an entertaining enough flick; a pleasant piece of fluff for those nights when you'd rather sit down with a bowl of Soy Dream and zone out on the couch. Though it was made for TV - and ABC Family, at that - it's not as cheesy as you'd expect. Think MEAN GIRLS meets CHARMED, but not quite as satisfying as either.

Oh, and Jennifer Tilly rocks as the magi. Love me some Jennifer Tilly, too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Hee Hee Hee....CAMP!, February 4, 2009

This review is from: The Initiation of Sarah (Amazon Instant Video)

This is a campy low budget witch film. Decent acting...campy plot. If you don't expect oscar worthy anything, then you'll enjoy this one. Especially if you and your slightly drunk friends can add witty commentary along the way.

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun, shallow, campy nonsense with lots of cute girls..., November 27, 2011

Yes, yes, two of the sororities on campus are actually covens of witches. That's normal behavior. Anyway, that is more or less the plot of this fun, campy, flick. If watching a lot of drop-dead gorgeous young college co-eds run around pursuant to a silly plot about witchcraft, sacrifices, etc. appeals to you (it did me) then this film too is for you. The acting is endurable, the dialog is fun, and the plot is one-dimensional but so what? Every now and then some of us want to take our critical and cognitive facilities off-line and just have fun. This film is perfect for that. RJB.
