Overall I was a little underwhelmed by the craft. While the effects are great for a movie in the late 90s, I just wasn't too impressed with the storyline itself. The girls didn't have that much chemistry and the plot felt disjointed. Not a bad movie. but not great either.

Fairuza Balk, Robin Tunney, Neve Campbell, Rachel True, Skeet Ulrich, Christine Taylor and Cliff De Young star in this 1996 horror film. Sarah (Tunney) has just moved to L.A. with her father (De Young) and stepmother. She meets and befriends 3 outcast girls, Nancy (Balk) Bonnie (Campbell) and Rochelle (True) who practice witchcraft to strike back at tormentors. They learn that Sarah is a natural witch and together they perform magic until Nancy becomes power crazy. Ulrich plays Chris, a teen who becomes obsessed with Sarah after she puts a spell on him and Taylor plays Laura, a bimbo teen who is cruel to Rochelle until she gets a spell put on her. This is pretty good and it's funny that Fairuza was a witch 10 years prior in "The Worst Witch." I recommend this.

I watched this film all the way through for the first time four years ago, when it was recommended to all Religious Studies students as part of a Paganism module. Interestingly, the lecturer who was so hot on this movie was a Pagan herself. Why she was so happy, then, to talk-up a movie that basically bludgeons Wiccans to within an inch of their lives remains to be seen. Perhaps the whole walking-boot wearing, vegan, home-made wine Paganism she followed was up for a rather bitter laugh at itself, but I'm not totally sure. She left the department soon after this and perhaps the fact that she recommended this mediocre movie to 200 students has something to do with it. The Craft, in a nutshell, is about a group of 4 misfits who use their growing magical powers for their own selfish ends. Predictably, one of them goes bonkers, one has an attack of conscience, and 2 are pathetic sheep who, of course, choose to follow Ms Nutter around committing increasingly unpleasant acts. The message of this film is confused from the outset. Despite apparently consulting a world-wide Paganism group to make sure the rituals and beliefs portrayed were 'accurate' I cannot help thinking that this film gives Wicca a good drubbing, whether it meant to or not. Ironically, near the beginning of the film, you see a wild-eyed fundamentalist Christian preaching on the wrong side of town. His compatriots appear to be hobos wielding snakes, but don't worry, because the super-cool and liberal Pagans soon appear to have very few redeeming features themselves. They are for the most part portrayed as vindictive lunatics who use their powers for reasons trivial, selfish or murderous. Changing your hair and eye colour, levitating your friends and throwing jocks out of the window is deur rigeur in teen Wiccan circles according to this. If you deviate, three astigmatic chicks crash through your window and attempt to kill you. Is this really how Pagans want to be portrayed? The film even includes the line, We are the weirdos, Mister! as the gals strut off to perform a ritual in the woods. Even the 'good witch' comes across as an unpleasant character towards the end, as she threatens 2 of her friends (a branch breaks off a tree in a crack of lightening in a shot that looks alarmingly like stock footage) and apparently relishes the fact that the 'bad witch' has ended up in an insane asylum. In addition to leaving a nasty taste in the mouth, the film has also dated horribly. Though 'Clueless' was 90s through and through, its excellent writing keeps it fresh. The Craft is nowhere near as well written, so the 90s Indie music and horrible, semi-goth fashions are glaringly obvious to the 21st century viewer. Another thing that erked me was, of course, the witches had to be goths, which reasserts the idea that Wiccans are all tortured teens going through a phase. Though the acting is good and the plot reasonable, The Craft remains an over-blown supernatural drama that sets out to entertain one type of person and one type of person only. Unfortunately, the rest of us won't be quite so intrigued.
