Details

Six misfit schoolgirls at an all-girl Catholic high school, left alone at the school for Easter week, get mixed up with the occult and witchcraft after an old Satanic temple is found underneath the church where they attend as well as an old book of black magic spells for conjuring up an ancient demon from the pits of Hell. Janie, the most characteristic and cruelest of the girls, takes charge of the group and plots to resurrect the demon using a series of black arts spells, while one innocent girl, Faith, has a change of heart and tries to stop them from completing their spell which also includes a human sacrifice.

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Mr_Ectoplasma "Little Witches" follows a group of girls at a Catholic boarding school in Southern California who are holed up together over the Easter vacation. Some rowdy, some bored, and some sexually repressed, they group together and begin dabbling with the occult, and unleash evil beyond their imagination.Often footnoted as the cut-out bin-equivalent to "The Craft," "Little Witches" is drawing on a lengthy tradition of Catholic schoolgirl occult exploitation that has been a trend dating back to the television films of the seventies—"Satan's School for Girls" and "The Possessed" come to mind. In fact, "Little Witches" is really not all that different from those films, aside from the fact that its straight-to-video release allowed for gratuitous nudity and other material that would've never made it on television. In spite of this, the film very much feels like a made-for-TV movie, with indolent cinematography, a distracting musical score, and anemic performances from just about all involved.In short, yes, this is a terrible film, one whose main attraction for many is the abundance of female flesh and sacrilegious antics. The flip side? There is definitely an audience for it, and though I can't necessarily count myself as one of them, I can understand where people find the charm in it. The film is peppered with fun scenes, and the over-the-top ending is reminiscent of the hokiest of the "Children of the Corn" sequels. Jennifer Rubin plays the authoritative nun/mother figure of the film, while a young Clea DuVall has a small part as one of the sorores Satanae; Sheeri Rappaport plays the ringleader of the girls, while Mimi Rose plays (unconvincingly) the film's moral center. Zelda Rubinstein also makes a rather amusing token appearance.Overall, "Little Witches" is a generally weak film that is also a vainglorious B-movie triumph in some sense. It's technically quite abysmal on most accounts, but it also oddly seems to be aware of this. There is fun to be had for the right frame of mind (or right viewer), but at the end of the day, it's still a cheap and easy Satanic sisterhood flick that, while more gratuitous than its peers, does not rise above them. 4/10.
Pope Judas Nixon (saint_of_all_liars) Little Witches is about a group of mermaids who go on a perilous journey in search of The Dork of Moby. A legendary whale bone that is said to have magical powers which gives any nautical creature the ability to breath on land while it's in their possession. Early their adventure, the girls encounter a great white shark named, Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg seems to be a docile creature who is charitable enough to act as their guardian during the trek, but as the members of the squadron of mermaids begin to disappear one by one, they realize Steven Spielberg has ulterior motives after they spot a mermaid scale stuck between two of Steven Spielberg's teeth. So they are forced to make an escape from the blood thirsty predator with a taste for mer-people with the help of a sea turtle named Cloud Strife, an octopus named Simon Belmont, a jumbo shrimp named Shinobi, and a manatee named Rosie O'Donnell, who they met while taking part amateur night of an oceanic strip club called Flippers, in the Arctic regions in order to earn some extra clams for their journey. All & All, I can say without a doubt that this film was better than Citizen Kane, The Godfather II, & Pulp Fiction combined. The Oscar winning performance given by Mimi Rose put Vivien Leigh, Meryl Steep, & Hillary Duff to shame. So if you love heartfelt stories that doesn't have nudity, cursing, pagan rituals, or fat chicks, that the whole family can sit down and watch while you visit your Alzheimer's stricken grandmother in the spare no expense, rest home of luxury you put her in... then this is the film for you. Pope Judas Nixon over & out!
Lacywhitus I loved this movie..... It had the right ammount of rage and teen angst in it. The whole freaky nun thing was silly, but none the less added to the entertainment value of "little witches" I would say, go rent it...it's a good laugh.
MooCowMo "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)
