What to Expect

The Craft is about a high school coven of witches who explore their magical powers until their dangerous stunts get out of hand. The movie is inextricably stuck in the 1990s, though it’s quite the period piece now. Despite the official pan-religious experts on hand, you’ll still find the occasional occult devotee who bristles at mention of this movie. The Craft blows the Imagination Ceiling to bits. When these witches fight, they fight DIRTY! And they use every trick you can imagine: cursing each other to look old and decrepit, turning fingers into snakes, flooding rooms with bugs, shape-shifting into mirrors, flying, making a lightning bolt snap a branch off a tree, turning into clones of each other, anything and everything all happening at a thrilling pace.

Critic Reviews:

The Craft has its hardcore fans. Or, at least, it used to. I don’t hear people talking about it much these days. I was never a hardcore fan but I always thought it was a solid way to spend 101 minutes of my time.

– Talking Pulp

The Craft is a decent little film with a well-written script, strong performances and some surprisingly grim moments given its target audience.

– That Was A Bit Mental

If you haven’t seen this and come across it, pick it up as an essentially family-friendly horror film to show for those too weak at heart to enjoy the hard stuff.
