I enjoyed the film and found myself at the edge of my seat at times waiting to see what happened, which really surprised me. I guess I was, to be honest, expecting so little I really liked it. The storyline was different enough from any I had seen that it really piqued my interest. The highlight in the cast was Sheeri Rappaport, though, clearly the best actor in the film, and not just because of her nudity in the film She came across as very realistic. For many of the other actors, I saw them reciting lines, which was disappointing. Some of the plot was a little questionable, like why they had to take so many precautions on their first visit to the crypt, but then went at their leisure, and yes, the effects could have gone a LOT further......but, all in all something grabbed me about the film and I really sat waiting to see what was going to happen next. Although there's some nudity, as I mentioned, this isn't a film with sex over the top, or nudity with a token story. It's a vert good story, with generally poor actors and special effects,some pretty good sensuality, and a little bit of nudity.

I felt overall that the movie did not live up to its promise or what it could have been, but its still worth watching.It has its moments.I like occult-themed movies.There were a few parts in the movie I found scary -like when they were calling the demon.I don't regret buying it .Its not a bad way to spend a few hours.

I havent seen a movie so awful that you had to love it in a while. This movie rates up there with "Amazon Women on the Moon" the plot is similar to The Craft, but not really the same. I admit that I like that the movie keeps a sort of "earth religion" tone, but goes way overboard so you never really suspend your disbelief for too long. I rented this movie a while back knowing full well it was no "the Craft." I do admit it was not as stylized in general as the cover. That was my first dissapointment. But once i got over the idea that the best thing about this film is that it doesnt take itself too seriously. Its hilarious fun!

honestly i love this movie!! I have been searching and searching for so many years to find this. I used to rent it from family video. Watched it all the time. I would love to buy this new because i cant find this anywhere else but on here for this movie it is just too expensive. I would not even pay that much for My favorite shows, SMALLVILLE or CHARMED!!! Make the price go down about 40.00 and i will definitely buy this movie!! :

It really is a good sometimes spooky little film. Very good acting as well. I always thought Jennifer Rubin was a great actress so it's great to see her in it. I actually love this flick. Plus there's boobies in it.

Great movie, surprised this enver became a cult classic. Is it cheesy? Sure. Does it use nudity to keep the viewer amused? Yes. Is it funny, YOU BET! I'm sad that the DVD release of this was so limited as it would be great to have it on DVD, however I'm happy to have purchased it on VHS, when this movie was new to video stores I rented it dozens of times because I find it quite entertaining.

This is not a good movie, not in the way that makes a film like 'Poltergeist' good. The acting is terrible, the special effects are laughable & the plot is wafer thin. However it IS good in a "so bad it's good" schlocky horror film way. If you are looking for something that's actually good, then skip this film. If you want something to laugh at & enjoy for it's badness, get this film.

The plot line of the film shows that either this film was written immediately after the release of 'The Craft' or that it was in development & pushed out quickly in order to capitalize on the 'Craft' hype. The plot follows a group of teen girls (mostly played by women in their 20s) who attend a Catholic school where a satanic temple has been discovered. The girls find a magical text that outlines several spells & before they know it, they've been looped together by the school bad girl in an attempt to summon up an otherworldly being.

Really, I did enjoy this film. It's one of the first schlocky horror films I watched & it introduced me to a lot of the classic schlocky horror from the 80s, so I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for it. The fact that it had Zelda "This house is now clean" Rubenstein from the 'Poltergeist' movies only made it more awesome, although she was woefully underused.

For what was obviously a film slapped together in record time, it's really not that bad. It doesn't deserve any more than 3 stars (where I'd give a film like Night of the Demons 5 stars), though. If you want to see this, I recommend tracking down a really cheap VHS or DVD copy or a rental first. It's not the type of movie that I'd recommend spending a lot of money on unless you KNOW you like it.

The movie pushes the envelope of bad directing and bad acting and don't even get me started on the writing... Me and my buddies checked the movie out because we saw the box and thought it was going to be a cool cheesy horror movie... but it wasn't cool at all. The "good" lead character was whiney, the "bad" lead character was lame-acting and dances so badly in her nude Striptease scene that she's an affront to all white people. The best-looking and interesting girls hardly talked or didn't speak at all. I'm talking about the hot black girl who hardly had any lines and was obviously given all the bad joke lines and the sexy blonde who didn't get to say a thing. Oye,they were the only reason me and my friends sat through the movie and we felt cheated. The plot made no sense and the editing was horrific... but I guess that's why you don't see Jane Simpson's name on any other movies.

A cheese classic for the terrible plot and great nude scenes

Well..let's see..it was nothing like "The Craft" except for the whole Catholic School Girl theme. And let me say that "The Craft" is a MASTERPIECE, a complete work of art with great acting, a great script, great special effects! "Little Witches" had dull special effects, a dull script, and not so good acting.
The story line isn't like "The Craft". The plot is about some "naughty" Catholic School girls who find a spell book written in Latin in an abandoned part of their church. The lead girl Jaime (Played pretty well by Sheeri Rappaport) gets into magic and spells and tries to form a little coven of her own and try to make a demon come to life. Meanwhile, her friend and roomate Faith (Mimi Reichmeister) starts to get interested in a construction worker named Daniel (Tommy Stork, a guy who can't act worth sh!t), who's repairing the school after a recent earthquake. It also includes some nuns, including Mother Clodah (played by Zelda Rubinstein from "Poltergeist" and "Picket Fences") and Sister Sherilyn (Jennifer Rubin...horrible actress). Mother Clodah has a red spot on her face, and Jaime thinks she's "The Guardian" so she makes a spell to kill her. It turns out that she actual wasn't, and the "The Guardian" still lives..but who is it? I'm not saying.

Word to the wise; Unless you're into gratuitous nudity and horrible acting, don't rent it. I still say it's good, but it's not THAT good. There are only a few good actresses in here; Sheeri Rappaport, Mimi Reichmeister, Clea DuVall, and Zelda Rubinstein.

By the way, I read in an article that Clea DuVall regrets doing this movie, it was her first film, and she had some nude scenes she wish didn't happen. I don't blame her. It would've been spectacular without the nude scenes!
