Summary: Atmospheric, Intense, and Thrilling
Review: I think the Craft is one of the best movies on Wicca that Hollywood has made thus far; yet is still lacking authenticity in some ways. What I especially liked about this movie is that it creates an atmosphere of wonder. The magic shop along with the props used in it were extremely well thought out. The score was also amazing, as the music seemed to create the atmosphere. Some of the most subtle special effects were the ones that caught my attention and left me thinking long after the movie was over.

Summary: Bewitchingly Scary
Review: Firstly, I'm not into magik or Wicca or anything like that so my review is not based on whether or not it was realistic or whatever, bla bla bla.. I haven't seen a movie for years, since The Shining in fact, which actually got the old fear glands pumping and gave me that scary kind of buzz that gets your heart pumping and you find yourself thinking lots of weird thoughts... An extremely slickly shot, fast paced movie, the acting was pretty good if a little over stylised. A great supernatural thriller with a fantastic end scene. See it.

Summary: Great entertainment...though not true-to-life.
Review: As the spotlight reviews say, it's a good movie. Wonderful actresses, all of them. However, I wouldn't recommend it for those just starting on the path of life, as it's not true-to-life. There are many versions and faces of truth; this, however, is not one of them. Okay, I'll shut up now. =^) Wonderful movie.

Summary: Take it for what it is...
Review: I love this movie! It's charming, fun, and actually has a decent message behind all the special effects.In response to people who were less than complimentary:
1. I am not the normal demographic for the film (my own high school days being far behind me).
2. Don't confuse Wicca and Witchcraft.
3. This is a Hollywood movie and a horror/comedy to boot. Are we holding it to higher standards than, say, "Big Trouble In Little China"?
4. If you don't think witchcraft is real, see number three. 5. If you think your religion was smeared or degraded, see number three.
6. If this isn't what "real" witches do, see number three.

Summary: Wonderfully disturbing...
Review: The storyline and special effects were wonderful--all the actresses were perfect in their respective roles as a coven of teenage witches who get more than they bargained for when they invoke the power of Manahl (not sure if I spelled that right--lol)...unusual, disturbing--fantastic!

Summary: Entertaining enough
Review: I give The Craft three starts because
I found it was entertaining enough. That's it. As for whether it realistically portrayed witchcraft--cough! cough!--WHO CARES!
The only thing real about witchcraft is the persecution suffered by many charlatans and muddled-brained folks, as well as quite a few innocents, in the hands of people even more warped. And Wicca--what is Wicca? Simply a twentieth-century invention. That whole Goddess story, as anyone who's at least half informed knows, is nothing more than the product of the thesis of a very imaginative female anthropologist, whose name I do not wish to remember (as Cervantes would put it) so that those curious enough do a little research and find the truth on their own.
If you're a kid, well, hopefully, you'll grow up one day.
The Craft is alright; mediocre, tolerable, passable. The acting is quite bad, but that's probably the director's fault--the actors hover between dramatic and dark comedic histrionics. The story is mediocre. Some of the effects are cool. Entertaining enough.

Summary: Not real, but really GOOD ! ! !
Review: I watched this movie a little after I became Wiccan, and I think it was great entertaiment, like "Charmed" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". If you think this stuff is completely real, then you need help. Otherwise, this is a great moveie, I watched it more than five times.

Summary: Not Bad
Review: The sort of film to watch when bored, so long as you don't think that is what witchcraft is about.
scary in bits with a little humour, one to watch when nothing else is on.

Summary: This movie was great, despite it's fictional entities
Review: When I first saw this movie I was blown away buy it. Since then it has become one of my favorite movies of all time. Like many other people this movie gave me false ideas about Witchcraft, which I found otherwise as fictional. Even now as a practitioner of Wicca I still find it to be a great movie. This movie was made for entertainment purposes and not to persuade or disuade anyone one way or the other. Fairuza Balk as Nancy was awesome. She played and looked the part so well and I don't think anyone could have done a better job. The movie is based around three teenage girls classified as the misfits of the school. They come together to form a small coven and cast spells one themselves and other people. Sarah is the newcomer who is quickly accepted into their circle. As the movie progresses things get out of hand and Nancy ends up way in over her head and it's up to Sarah to use her powerful inheritated gift of magick to stop her. I suggest this movie for anyone who wants to be thrilled.
