This was unexpectedly corny fun. Throw in a dab of The Craft and a helping of Carrie, and you get this tale of Amber Moyers, who is doing a science project on telekinesis. No one is more surprised than her when she manages to bend a spoon. She tells her friends, and at an "occult supernatural party", the play around with a Ouija board and lift a table. Then they lift a boulder. Word gets around school, and soon they are performing these feats to help other students. But does this power come with a dark side?
The story is a bit all over the place. It starts out very The Craft-like (and note this was published a year before the film came out), with the girls enjoying their powers - that only seem to work when all five of them are together, except Amber. The second sight of the title comes into play much later on with a couple of prophetic dreams. And I'm not sure what second sight has to do with telekinesis. Aren't they two completely different things? We then get a loopy but fun link to radiation experiments carried out by the government in the deserts of New Mexico! I mean, what's not to love about that? There is some minor commentary about how boys treat girls, and there is racial diversity amongst the five girls. This could be easily adapted into a movie for today's times.
It's all a little ridiculous, but much more entertaining than I thought it would be.
