Speaking of afterthoughts, the end credit scene left the door wide open to a trilogy that nobody asked for. This was simply bad character writing and felt like an afterthought. Not only was it an uninspired idea to give the sequel character her own powers to fight with, but there was also zero explanation as to why or how she has powers.

Though these holes don’t distract from the goal of the film it does bring up a few questions.įurther into the movie however, as Becca celebrates her 16th birthday and completes her yearly candle lighting ritual, she begins to exhibit signs of witch powers herself. This also brings to question the sisters' birth parents and who they are, as they are not present in the opening scene. For example, in the beginning, though we can infer that the woman we meet is the Mother Witch, it is never explained who she is nor what her role is in the story.
With all of the plot lines to follow it's not surprising that there would be some plot holes and unanswered questions. The comedy style also just felt more in tune with the style of both this and the original film. These plot lines however, felt less annoying to watch as they added more to the overall plot than the rest. The comedy being the backbone of the film and the revenge plot bringing them to the blood of an enemy. Speaking of the sisters, they have two plot lines themselves! Comedy and revenge. This plot point brings out the truth about the Winifred-Billy-Sarah affair. One ingredient on this list included a lover's head, leading Gilbert to unearth Billy Butcherson, again. As part of his prize for helping raise the Sanderson Sisters, Gilbert was tasked with gathering ingredients for the forbidden spell "Magicae Maxima," only this task must be completed in one hour or he will die, so not much of a prize. Not only does the audience have to follow this plot line with no real resolution, they also have to keep up with Gilbert. The development of the new characters was severely lacking and I feel like the time spent developing plots could have been spent curating better, more unique characters. Between the dumb jock dating the shy outcast relationship trope and the two inseparable friends trope, there was nothing new to care about. Honestly, during any scenes that showed these three I found myself zoning out. Oh, and one of them is apparently a witch herself. They are merely a typical girl group split up by modern popularity issues who happen to light a candle and bring back a few Salem witches. The fractured friendship we are introduced to does nothing to add to the story nor does it add to the characters' likeability. However this scene, and seeing familiar actors, was about all that kept me interested.Īs 1653 Salem faded into modern day Salem and the audience was introduced to Becca ( Whitney Peak), Izzy ( Belissa Escobedo), and Cassie ( Lilia Buckingham), the new protagonists of the story, I found myself already losing interest in them. This opening scene does a good job of providing the audience with a little extra backstory and provides an opening, and a little bit of foreshadowing, for many of the plot points for the rest of the film. Though this witch is never named, as she passes along her spell book to Winifred, it can be assumed that this is who the sisters so often refer to as Mother Witch.
Here, they run into a cloaked woman with silver hair: a witch. After causing a town disturbance with her rage, Winifred is banished and she and her sisters take off into the Forbidden Woods. The movie opens on a young Winifred Sanderson’s 16th birthday, as she storms through 1653 Salem after being told she is to marry John Pritchett.
