Product Description: WHEN FOUR TEENAGE OUTCASTS BECOME EXPERTS IN THE ANCIENT ARTS OFWITCHCRAFT, THEY SEEK REVENGE ON THOSE WHO SLIGHTED THEM IN THE PAST.
Amazon.com: If Buffy the Vampire Slayer represents the lighter side of high school as a macabre experience, here's a movie that asks the burning question, "What happens when angst-ridden teenagers develop supernatural powers?" More to the point, how do four outcast teenaged witches handle their ability to cast wicked spells on the taunting classmates who've nicknamed them "The Bitches of Eastwick"? The answer, of course, is "don't get mad, get even." That's about all there is to this terminally silly movie, which makes up for its ludicrous plot by letting its young female cast have a field day as they indulge their dark fantasies. Fairuza Balk is enjoyable as the most wicked of the witches, and is therefore the focus of the film's most dazzling special effects. But it's Neve Campbell from television's Party of Five who made this film a modest box-office hit, just before she became her generation's fright-movie favorite in Scream and its popular sequel. --Jeff Shannon
A very good little witchy movie! ^ Although I've owned this movie for a few years now, it continues to be one of my favorites. Sure, it may be geared more towards teenagers, but I still love it. Basically, three teenage witches entice a new student into their circle and turn on her in the end, but I won't spoil the very ending for anybody who hasn't see this movie. Whether you are a teen, or a teen at heart, if you have even the slightest interest in Witchcraft, you will enjoy this film. I give it two thumbs up and five stars.
great. ^ I love witch movies. this one was exciting, and scary and cruel and it was the latter that bothered me most. but a totally worthwhile movie. glad i bought it. the DVD case does come with much less plastic than you'd expect, it seems they're on some plastic reducing kick. you'll notice this in other DVDs as well.
Lame ^ This isn't a horror movie although it claims itself to be. It's more like an epsiode of Dawson's Creek with Samantha from Bewitched thrown in. If you like real horror movies, run from this one. Seriously! Tom C.
love this movie ^ I own copies of "The Craft" on VHS & DVD, and I swear to God I love it. I have not seen it in like forever, but may do so tonight. When I first saw "The Craft", it seriously got me interested in witchcraft and that is something that I am not afraid to admit.
Mystick Realistick Teen Flick Fusion BD OK ^ After repeated viewings, Craft retains power and interest. Two DVDs and the BD; I should be bored; but it plays to stay. Medium power film has roots and style a'plenty with weird ways mixed with mundane. Great Playlist and a ride. BD has DTS power and great pic (soft by nature)
