The Craft (DVD)

I first saw this film at a friend's house. We had a girly sleepover and a few of us childishly tried to do some witchcraft afterwards…obviously with little success! I had never heard of 'The Craft' and the video belonged to my mate's big sister. We were only 11 and at the time the film was very scary and unnerving, now however I find it quite silly but still good. THE PLOT --------------- The film is directed by Andre Fleming in 1996, starting Robin Tunney, Neve Campbell Rachel True and Fairuza Balk. The film starts with Sarah (Robin Tunney) who moves to Los Angeles from San Francisco. She starts at St Benedict's and meets three new ...  Read the complete review

Andrew Fleming (Director)’s 1996 teen-witch film ‘The Craft’ was one I’d been looking forward to seeing for some time and I finally caught it on TV recently. It’s a difficult one to categorise though – it doesn’t quite fit in with teen-horrors like Scream, but nor is it the more straightforward teen flick about dating (e.g. American Pie). In fact, in a fairly loose sense, it’s like a cross between the two! In case you aren’t familiar with the film at all, the ‘craft’ referred to in the title is witchcraft. The film centres around four schoolgirls practising magic, in a somewhat Willow-from-Buffy ...  Read the complete review

I watched The Craft at a friend`s house a while ago (I was a Christian then) and I really thought it was an awesome movie then. I was the only one who was not frightened watching it though (I am not easily frightened). The Craft has awesome special effects, an excellent cast of young talents and the plot is rather gripping. It also gives a lot of insight on the characters` feelings and you actually get to like most of them. It has also a very mysterious and mystical atmosphere, and really evokes what usually comes to mind when one hears the word Witchcraft. The star of the movie is supposed to be Sarah, a teenager who has recently moved into a new town ...  Read the complete review

This film was not quite as witchy as I would have liked although it is one that I would watch again. The special effects are great and the film is very fast paced, I am not usually gripped by a film but this kept my attention. Centred around four girls who symbolise North, South, East and West of their coven the story follows them and shows how spells and magic can take a turn for the worse! They endeavour to make all their wildest dreams come true but end up (don’t read anymore if you don’t want to know the ending!) turning against each other with Nancy (played by Fairuza Balk-Campbell) ending up in a mental institution ...  Read the complete review
