Other mistake: In this film, when they find the picture of Nancy (from the original Craft film), the image is of Nancy in the restroom of the original movie. If you watch the original film, the image that was used of Nancy shown in the new film would have taken place during the scene where Nancy, Bonnie, and Rochelle confront Sarah about wanting out of the coven. But during that scene, no cameras were in sight and nobody was taking pictures.

"The Craft: Legacy" is a sadly and unfairly maligned sequel that was dismissed far too quickly because the original is such a cult classic. And it's a real shame because for what it is, "Legacy" is a solid little follow-up. Likeable leads and some fun twists and turns anchor this film even if its pacing can be a little too haphazard at times. I also like that it took a slightly different approach and didn't just regurgitate the same story all over again... there are references and fan-service, but the plot is very much its own. And there's even some really interesting ways in which it ties into the original film that could have set up further sequels.
Sadly, the COVID pandemic doing away with its theatrical release, and the venomous pre-release hatred have likely put any hope for a third film on ice for the time being. I really wish people would stop judging a film before its even out. Nobody was willing to give this movie a fair chance, and it's kinda heartbreaking because it's clear a lot of love went into its production and that a third movie was in the cards originally. Oh well... maybe one day.
I'd give "The Craft: Legacy" a very solid 3.5 out of 5. (Rounding up to a 4 out of 5).
