The Craft
A Catholic school newcomer falls in with a clique of teen witches who wield their powers against all who dare to cross them -- be they teachers, rivals or meddlesome parents.
Critics Sentiment
Each girl casts revenge spells on their tormentors
Nancy, Bonnie, and Rochelle psychologically torture Sarah with nightmares
The film drops sharply from its peak empowerment moment to its lowest point when the coven illogically turns against Sarah.
The Craft starts promisingly as an engaging black comedy about empowered misfits with strong character work and satisfying revenge sequences. However, it gradually succumbs to predictable formula and weak character logic in the final act, though it maintains enough entertainment value to please its target teenage audience. Critics consistently praised the cast chemistry and early witchcraft sequences while criticizing the overblown climax and missed storytelling opportunities.
