What's up with the storytelling aspect of movies!! So many plot holes and untold stories. Let me save you if you actually watched the original then this is going to be a disappoint (they tried to modernize it! Happy for that buuuttttt bad storytelling got this one)
They used a few scenes from the original and the infamous line from Nancy saying "We are the freaks". However in this one the girls remained friends. And Lily is the only one connected to the previous gang. We know nothing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the other three girls. NOTHING! They are just there, no parents! Nothing!
Let me start with the biggest one which is the LGBTQ+ representation. Timmy was suppose to be Chris in this one. But they made him gay (which was good in my opinion) but here is the downfall. Timmy is crying over Issac (he is coming out to the girls) then the main character (Lily) goes and cast a love spell on him so he falls for her!!! FOR HER!! Like what the honest hell was the writer thinking?! Due to the writers, Lily had no relationship with her "step brothers". We barely see the brothers even (there was so many scenes that that pointed to something but didn't go anywhere).
Either way, Timmy dies the next morning and the girls blame themselves well they blame Lily (as they should). I really hated the fact that she tried to make Timmy fall in love with her when he clearly liked her step brother.
And the villain which just happens to be the step father (Mom's boyfriend), there is no reason he is the villain. Otherwise from his "men are supreme" mindset. No reason! Did he date her mom to get to her? we'll never know. He was barely seen in the movie too which downplayed his importance. The same thing was done to his sons. Especially Jacob and Issac who was closer to Timmy, yet we didn't even see how his death affected them. Just Lily.
I could go on and on but the original is undefeated in every aspect. They probably just needed better cameras back then but the original was better.
