Year of Release: 1996 A cult favorite of mine, The Craft is by no means a great movie (in terms of all the truly great films there are...does that make sense? lol), but it's still a well-acted and pardon the pun, well-crafted "witch" flick that I totally enjoy the hell out of. And that's why I give it the rating I do. It's dark, entertaining and fun, IMHO. Seeing popular kids getting what they deserve will never grow old, especially if they're getting it from these four kickass ladies! The cast was excellent and very entertaining and the SFX and story are fine... Fairuza Balk, by far, has the best and most interesting role and she looks like she had a blast doing so. Robin Tunney is memorable as well (not as much as Fairuza Balk, of course). But Robin Tunney does a good job as the new girl and has to emote a lot of emotion throughout the film. Neve Campbell and Rachel True are strong supports, but the show is stolen by Ms. Tunney and Ms. Balk, who really play to the audience 100% throughout. So overall, with the combination of memorable performances, pretty good special effects, an interesting story, and some very catchy and cool spells, The Craft is a must-see for anyone who's up for teens messing with the supernatural and getting revenge on those damn popular kids!
