Enredo

- CuriosidadesKate Jackson appeared in the original version (Escola de Meninas (1973)) as Roberta Lockhart, a college student at Salem Academy. Her real-life nemesis, Cheryl Ladd, also played a part in it. Ladd did not get along with Kate---nor later, with most of her "Angels" co-stars---and even drove Shelley Hack out of the series, at the end of season four. Coincidentally, Shannen Doherty's nemesis, Alyssa Milano, drove her out of Charmed. Both Shannen and Kate had no choice but to act "sisterly" on-screen with their diminutive, real-life antagonists.

The 2000 TV movie readily dates itself with songs heard in passing on the soundtrack, and a pointed reference to a government leader and relationships with interns. Beyond the special effects, even the small touches of flair with which scenes are presented feel particular to the timeframe, and ham-handed: insertion of additional male characters (a love interest, because of course), the requisite scattering of birds to startle the protagonist, kitschy expositional dialogue, and more. The camerawork and editing is less than subtle, and plot development no less.
Though I'm not specifically familiar with her, Shannon Doherty has a long list of credits in film and especially television that makes her a prime candidate to be this feature's protagonist. I like Julie Benz, and I'll happily take any opportunity to watch her in something; indeed, here she obviously relishes the space her role allows her to play in, and it's a joy to watch her. Still, however - Doherty, Benz, and their co-stars are limited by the terrible blunt forthrightness of the screenplay and otherwise execution, showing everything to us with unwelcome brazen plainness. More than that: the 1973 version of 'Satan's school for girls' exceeded the bounds of its format with strong writing and performances. This 2000 rendition works so hard to embellish the core narrative with its own distinguishing flourishes and flashy effects that the story and the cast get lost in the process. What then was a brisk and engaging tale is here mostly reduced to tawdry, middling pablum.
It's not all bad. The slight twist that 2000's movie puts on its progenitor's narrative had its own potential. The assembled actors do the best they can under the circumstances. But there is simply not enough value here to outweigh many other elements that range from suspect to subpar. There are worse things you could watch, and if you're an especial fan of someone in the cast - sure, have at it, I guess. If you're a particular fan of the 1973 film I'm less certain about a recommendation, and likewise for viewers at large. 2000's 'Satan's school for girls' is a very mildly entertaining remake that just tries too hard, and is worse for it.
