If Buffy the Vampire Slayer represents the lighter side of high school as a macabre experience, here's a movie that asks the burning question, 'What happens when angst-ridden teenagers develop supernatural powers?' More to the point, how do four outcast teenaged witches handle their ability to cast wicked spells on the taunting classmates who've nicknamed them 'The Bitches of Eastwick'? The answer, of course, is 'don't get mad, get even.' That's about all there is to this terminally silly movie, which makes up for its ludicrous plot by letting its young female cast have a field day as they indulge their dark fantasies. Fairuza Balk is enjoyable as the most wicked of the witches, and is therefore the focus of the film's most dazzling special effects. But it's Neve Campbell from television's Party of Five who made this film a modest box-office hit, just before she became her generation's fright-movie favorite in Scream and its popular sequel. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - Double, double, toil, and trouble...
Fire burn and cauldron bubble -witchcraft sure has changed since Shakespeare's day! For one, the coven of witches in "The Craft" are much more becoming than the hags portrayed in Shakespeare's Macbeth. The story centers around Sarah [a very young Robin Tunney] who is emotionally fragile, having recently failed in a suicide attempt. She moves with her father and stepmother to a new place, and finds it awkward at her new school until she is singled out by a group of girls, Nancy [a wicked Fairuza Balk], ... Read More
Rating:  - Betrayal
The real story and the main selling point is betrayal. Nothing is more familiar than having a friend suddenly turn on you for no apparent reason. The characters herein are like that. They turn on each other, lie, cheat and even kill. This leads to the witchcraft. The movie has a before and after structure to it. Before magick, my parents and classmates had me down and after when I got even. Then there is a finale that has some of the magick working wonderfully, like gene therapy and teaching racists a ...

Rating: - Great Film, Decent Soundtrack
amazing movie. When It hit the screen I smuggled myself and my friend into the movie (damn the rating system) we were blown away by it's awesome stellar opening song by Our Lady Peace and flash of graphics. Such a great movie for teen gal pals or a trio or 4 some of best friends. Again, great movie and the soundtrack is decent for the time of it's debut.
Rating: - Witch power!
The Craft starring Neve Campbell is a cute, fun, and edgy comedy. Robin Tunney and Fairuza Balk also star, I really like this film, has great energy and the plot is pretty cool. Sometimes I wish I could be a witch, lol. I highly recommend this chick flick fantasy, enjoy!
Rating: - The Craft
**No Spoilers** The Craft is one of those movies that will ultimately become Timeless. It will appeal to young audiences, and will most likely carry on through to adulthood as a "favorite movie worth seeing again and again." (think in terms of the "cult favorites" Carrie, The Breakfast Club, Grease) I am not well versed in Wiccan and/or witchcraft practices, so for me this film satisfied an element of curiosity. The entire cast gives impeccable performances in their respective roles. Fairuza Balk has ... Read More
