Little Witches came out the same year as the Craft (1996) and in the video releases of it have tried to tie it more closely to the Craft (a vaguely Fairuza Balk looking actress on the cover, the Morpheus font, the back cover of the DVD claiming they "mastered their craft").
While watching this I realized I had seen it a few years back.
School girls, underground evil temple, ancient evil cult. Though there are a couple of highlights.
First it is the acting debut of Clea Duvall. Zelda Rubinstein is in it. Sheeri Rappaport is not bad in it. And it was only filmed in two weeks.
There is a kernel of a good movie here, buried under cliches and mediocre acting, again Clea Duvall and Sheeri Rappaport are the exceptions here. The demon at the end was neat, kinda like a poor man's Demogorgon.
It did not get any better in time really.
