The Craft Legacy ending explained

There is a certain cliffhanger at the end of the film which brings together the original and the new Craft films. The cliffhanger, in fact, looks similar to the one from Shyamalan's Split where the two different characters from different timeline find a common grip in the narrative. While Split took the turn of surprising the audience by not making them aware of whether the film was based in the Glass universe, The Craft Legacy makes it somewhat on the expected sides.
