Welcome to midnight movie reviews with Kym!
If you haven’t watched Teen Witch (1989) I highly recommend it and not just because the main character is played by Blake Lively’s younger sister whose other key roles include the gold digger in Twin Peaks 🤣
It’s a classic coming-of-age story where a high school girl discovers that she’s a witch on her sixteenth birthday, and, like any high school girl, uses her mystical powers to … Create her own money, vanish an entire person, meet her favorite pop star, chase a boy and become popular.
It encompasses every great thing about every bad 80’s movie… including more than one random dance number, the weird and annoying younger brother, a pretty bitchin soundtrack, far too many sex jokes and innuendos, and an uncomfortable barefoot Dirty Dancing-esque scene in an abandoned (?) house. Don’t forget the strange fortune telling witch with /very/ questionable advice.
Throughout the entire movie, your most prevalent question will be “Is this a musical?”
Maybe don’t watch it with your kids but if you’re looking for a movie that’s so bad it’s good, fun, campy and ultimately just questionably weird, you’ve come to the right place. Teen Witch is available to stream on Prime Video.
