Script problems..?

This film starts well with a simple premise and decent characters, but then things get muddled.

Like, didn’t the witches find it odd that only when Sarah joined their coven did their spells actually start working? Nobody remarked on this. We saw Nancy getting increasingly pissed that Sarah was more naturally gifted, but the other two didn’t react.

Then Nancy does have powers after all and summons Moloch (or whoever), becomes more powerful and turns into a psycho bwitch. I can get her going nuts, but why do the other two turn into bitches too? Literally at the end they’re trying to kill Sarah - why?

Rochelle started to feel guilty about her hair-falling-out spell on that blonde racist, but then forgets all about it and goes full bitch. Why?

Sarah went to the book store and was about to summon Moloch but aborted it mid spell and ran away. Why did she do that? What would have happened if she had summoned him? Did she even need to given that she was naturally gifted?

At the end Rochelle and Bonnie arrive to make peace with Sarah, but then they’re snickering away at her loss of powers (until Sarah shows them they’re wrong via tree branch). Why are they still being bitches to their once-friend?

I also found it weird that the film never ‘digested’ Chris’ death. Let’s see what his best friends and the school have to say about him falling out of a window. The fact that he was alone in a room with two witches he’d previously spread shitty rumours about would surely raise questions, as would all the screaming and noise before his plummet 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, smells like the script was rewritten during shooting and the finished film doesn't quite cohere. Compared to Scream it’s quite a mess (and is poorly shot with ropey effects).
