This flick has a very standard teen-movie formula. It's like Airbourne or Hackers, except instead of rollerblading and hacking, it's witch craft. The protagonist, Sarah, is the new girl in school. She butts heads with the bad crowd and then eventually joins their gang until the final showdown in the end. The leader of the coven is Nancy, played by Fairuza Balk. She got that ugly-hott going on. I always had a crush on her. She looks like the kind of trashy girl who can shot-gun a beer. There's some mondo continuity errors in the characters of this movie. For example, Sarah freaks out when her friends' spells and hi-jinx get a couple people killed. She no longer wants to be part of their club. But why would this bother her? At the beginning of the movie, a homeless person is nailed with a car, and they're laughing and celebrating because they think they made it happen with a spell. This is how they become friends in the first place: by killing a dude.One of the witches, Rochelle, starts to feel really guilty about putting a curse on some babe-zilla bully that causes all her hair to fall out. She shows no remorse, however, for any of the deaths and she has no qualms with trying to kill Sarah and her entire family at the end of the movie. It's like the writer of this script has ADD so bad that he can't even pay attention to his own writing. He forgot what he wrote one page ago as he pulls this whole thing out of his butt. This movie is pretty cheesy, but I feel it could be cheesier. I probably just don't get it because I'm a boy. Maybe if Van Damme were in it, I'd like it more.

A newcomer to a Catholic prep high school falls in with a trio of outcast teenage girls who practice witchcraft and they all soon conjure up various spells and curses against those who even slightly anger them. The Craft is a 1996 Fantasy, Horror Film starring Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk and Neve Campbell. This is a film that caught my attention for sometime now and after finishing it i gotta say it was good but at the same time i was expecting a bit more and let me start with the stuff that i liked, Robin Tunney was really good as Sarah Bailey and she was interesting as a character plus she was the strongest of the 4 girls, Fairuza Balk as Nancy Downs also gave a good performance as the evil and crazy witch and she fit the part perfectly as for Neve Campbell and Rachel True they were alright. The storyline reminded me a lot of Charmed and even a bit of Sabrina The Teenage Witch but it was a way darker version of course the Charmed Theme Song also played in one of the scenes so that was cool plus the cgi were good for the time that the film was released. Where the movie kinda lost me was with the plot which was the witches being total jerks to people that even slightly anger them and the ending was a bit flat as well because unlike Charmed where the sisters are a Team or a Family on that case in here they turn on each other with Sarah being the black sheep and the other 3 the saints so i was disappointed on that because i found it a bit weak as a storyline and even a 3rd act because clearly nothing happened they could have used their powers for good instead of being total douchebags but anyways it won't appeal to everyone it certainly has those 90's vibes and it's more of a Teenager Flick also so it won't please everyone. Overall i did enjoy the movie the characters, the actors and the effects were good but the storyline and the 3rd act mostly were weak and flat plus the wig that Tunney wore in certain scenes and especially the ending could be easily spot on and that was a bit of a disappointment as well. (7.5/10)

This is like the movie "with-it" liberal parents might take their budding teen daughter to go see in the late 90's, its a movie used so parents can tell kids, I know you may experiment with drugs but using too much can be dangerous. Y'know, stupid magic is used in place of drugs, they call it a metaphor. I mean maybe its that The Craft is a predictable, tame movie that makes the movie so dull. I would assume a film about magic and teenage girls should be some intense serious sh*t, but The Craft a movie specifically about teen girls and magic...yeah,no,not intense. If you love this movie, then love it, I salute you, it does nothing for me. I prefer my movies about teenage girls and magic to be awesome or at least not phony.

This movie was freaking tight. I liked the girls who were acting and the story. It was cool to see the girls be nice to the new girl by telling her that who wanted to get with her was a jerk, then when he told the whole school she slept with him despite her innocence, she realizes, hey these girls be alright I shoulda done trusted dem in the first place.So that was cool but then later in the film the same girls betray her and try to kill her over some trivialness. I'm not really sure why they try to kill her actually, like, it wasn't made clear why. The viewer can imagine it's because she wants to stop them. I mean she does put a binding spell on the evil girl but the spell doesn't even work so she's rather harmless so why kill the witch, ay?It's understandable too I read another review saying the evil witch steals the show. She does kind of, stealing it is a good way to call what she does, but she also expresses some emotions that are almost out of place. For some reason I still freaking loved this movie. The girls are really cute and do a good job acting and it's about witchcraft so I guess that's all I really need. The plot is kind of neat too with the new girl trying to fit in and stuff.
