Summary: Creepy, Atmospheric, and Darkly "Cool"
Review: After not seeing The Craft for a while, I'd completely forgotten how much I loved the movie. Not because I'm into the actual craft, or because I'm a major die hard fan of anyone in the movie. It's because The Craft is a genuinely creepy atmospheric film with a side of witty humour and truthful underlying messages. Sarah (Robin Tunney) is the new girl at school. Always never being able to fit in, she instantly falls into a group of misfit girls: Nancy (Fairuza Balk), Bonnie (Neve Campbell), and Rochele (Rachel True). All four girls have an interest in witchcraft, and they further their interests by having a complete circle, and finding a power within them. While the power in Sarah is a true power, Nancy - dubbed as the leader of the group - takes the power and abuses it. Using it to harm people, and to get her way. When a certain thing goes wrong, Sarah wants out of the circle, but the others will not have it. Now Sarah must believe in her power to stop Nancy and co. from taking her life. Unfortunately, The Craft came out right before the success of teen horror that started with Scream (Also starring Neve Campbell and Skeet Ulrich). But it still grossed a good amount in theatres, and deserves what it made, and more. Robin Tunney is great as our lead. Her subtle emotions and knack of sarcasm made her character likable. Neve Campbell's character was the less seen, but she made it memorable. Rachel True brought a lot of charm and wit to the movie. Now, Fairuza Balk . . . that girl took her part and played it to the full extent. You'd truly think she was as crazy as her character had become, it looked so real. Very creepy and downright scary. Kudos to the Fairuza Balk. Skeet Ulrich and Christine Taylor are the victims here, and both play their supporting parts very good. Columbia TriStar once again pleases DVD buyers with an awesome dvd presentation. The menus are very antimated with sound and movement (Although side menus are usually static). Picture and audio are great. No glitches from what I saw. There are 3 deleted scenes. The first two were very interesting with the first giving more depth between Robin Tunney and Neve Campbell's characters. There's an interesting behind-the-scenes featurette, as well as a commentary. As usual, there's the theatrical trailer and cast & crew bios. All very interesting. Undeniably, this DVD is a good buy. The feature film alone is well worth any buy.

Summary: The Craft
Review: I think The Craft is one of the most entertaining movies ever made. The cast is wonderful, the plot is real good, and it was just about made the best it possibly could be. Now, I guess there was some footage, about 5 minutes, that wasn't needed, but that didn't really take away anything. It's a real interesting movie to watch and it's involving. I bet most people tried that "Light as a feather, stiff as a board" trick. The movie has humor yet it's serious, and lots of people are probably saying "Oh, this isn't witchcraft." I don't really know, but witchcraft isn't just one thing, theres lots of different things that can happen.

Summary: Not scary
Review: This movie was not what I had expected at all. It was boring, although it had some kind of plot, it was cliche and predictable. Three teenage girls get into witchcraft, then a new girl transferrs to the school, of course, she becomes the most powerful of them all, and of course, one of the girls had to turn evil, and then the new girl needs to save them all with her all-mighty witch powers.
It is not worth the rental fee.

Summary: Fiction at it's most entertaining..
Review: This is a film made purely for entertainment purposes. I can undestand why some people wouldn't like this movie, as I am a witch(not the back-stabbing 'paranoid' black magick type) and I find it offensive at times about how witchcraft is portrayed.Other than that, great acting by Neve Campbell and Fairuza Balk(a real witch too!!). Basically tells the story of Sarah, a newcomer to a Catholic school who is eager to make friends and incidently turns up in the wrong crowd. Some truth in it of course, but mostly just promotes the message that witches they can get whatever they want, whenever and however they want whether anyone likes it or not. Includes a cool levitation scene and some special effects. Not the most startling movie but a must see if your into the whole mystical and rebellious teenage stage..

Summary: Good movie...shame about the Craft?
Review: My, people are upset at this one, aren't they? Okay, it may misrepresent the Craft, but the Titanic was rather misleading, as was many other films we could all mention. I'm going to take the film at face value. It's a movie for young adults, let's be honest. I watched the film, and was intrigued by the special effects. The character which (of course) makes the film, is Nancy. There is nothing like seeing a good old psychotic episode, which she provides on regular occasions. Top marks to the actress. I think that yes, this is a Hollywood film, but what do you expect? It's clever enough to make you believe in it, and if it's wrong, then won't that prevent anyone trying to copy it? Mainly 'cos it won't work...one hopes. My only critique of the film was the finale...shorter than I had expected after that build up. Anyway, watch the film and enjoy, don't take it for real, and have a good laugh at Nancy. Just don't try it at home, kids.

Summary: A film which dabbles in the occult!!
Review: I must admit, I love teeny-boppy films like this one. But this is slightly more orginal. Sarah, a new girl in town comes across 3 slightly strange girls known as 'The Bitches of Eastwick!' who like to dabble in the occult. But when Sarah comes along they can actually start to do things for real. Sarah gets the local mean stud Chris (Skeet Ulrich looking completly different then usual) to fall hopelessly in love with her, Bonnie (Neve Campbell) who is afflicted with terrible burn scars magic's them away, Rochelle (Rachel True) gets true revenge on her racist bitchy tormentors and Nancy (Fairuza Balk at one of her best and nastiest) goes very powerful and.. weird! This film is good fun to watch with a great finale (Not for the faint-hearted!)

Summary: The New Generation of Witches!
Review: No more old hags in tattered clothing cackling around a large black cauldron- this is the new generation of witches, and they are in the form of four rebellious girls that go to a Catholic High School. No warts, no toothless grins, just average- looking girls that decide to thrawt nature and their troublesome lives by getting involved with witchcraft.
It starts out with the lead character Sarah coming to a new town and feeling totally different, as she always has, and immediately falls into what most mothers would call 'the wrong crowd', and this crowd is three outsiders who had been waiting for their fourth corner, which in witchcraft is to make a circle and give the four witches in this circle powers they can be able to use to their own advantage.
But as the girls have fun with their magical abilities for a short while, Sarah starts to realize the negative affects these gifts give on the people around them, as well on her three friends themselves. But it's too late when Sarah begins to see this, and her three friends are too proud of their powers, especially Nancy, the head of this clan. And they're hungry to do much more- with or without Sarah's assistance.
I honestly thought this movie would be a dud when my friend recommended it to me, since most teen horror films are never truly powerful or captivating, but I found this movie to be a true gem. Like my friend did, I highly recommend this movie.

Summary: Amazingly Evil and creepy teen thriller
Review: This movie is by far in my top 3 favorite movies of all time. It takes a lot to sit next to the all time classics, Ferris Bulers day off, and Clueless. I can't tell you how many times i've watched this movie, and by now, i know ALL the words. I got my friends hooked on it to. Nothing beats the first time you watch it though, and that impact you get from watching it a 2 in the morning with the lights off. It's not even that scaring, just creepy, and full of suspense. It's a movie you'll want to watch OVER AND OVER again. If your into the whole, backstabbing, creepy revenge of a phsyco (...)...then you'll really like this movie. I love it and it makes any DVD collection complete.
