Synopsis
Supergirl (1984), Jeannot Szwarc's DC fantasy-adventure, is ready to watch online on iFILM. A spin-off of the Christopher Reeve Superman pictures, it sends the Man of Steel's cousin Kara to Earth, with newcomer Helen Slater stepping into the cape.
Kara grows up in Argo City, a surviving shard of Krypton powered by an orb called the Omegahedron. When the orb slips through a portal and lands on Earth, it falls into the hands of Selena (Faye Dunaway), an ambitious small-time witch. Kara follows it down, gains her powers under Earth's sun, and poses as an ordinary boarding-school girl named Linda. Selena, meanwhile, starts rewriting the rules of magic to seize a whole town — and ends up chasing the same handsome groundskeeper Kara has noticed.
Dunaway clearly has a blast playing the villain, with Peter O'Toole and Mia Farrow rounding out the cast, while Slater flies with wide-eyed delight. It is goofy, gloriously 1980s, and free of the grim tone that swallowed later superhero films — the kind of retro you watch for charm, not logic. Stream Supergirl (1984) online on iFILM.
