The 1998 film follows Sally Owens, played by Bullock, and Gillian Owens, played by Kidman, as they played a pair of witchy sisters who attempt to break their family’s curse which dooms any man who love the women of their family to die. It is based on a 1995 novel of the same name written by Alice Hoffman.

Warner Bros Pictures celebrated the release of the film on streaming service Max in the US by releasing clips of the flick on TikTok. While the film only held modest reviews from reviewers at the time, it became a cult classic for fans.
