The Craft

DIRECTED BY: Andrew Fleming

REVIEWED: 05-16-96

Three sexy but unpopular girls form a coven and begin casting spells on their classmates in this supernatural update of the classic teen formula movie. The first half is generally above par for this genre and touches on some of the strange obsessiveness of teen life that other movies of this kind often skip. A zippy script and above-decent acting, especially by Fairuza Balk, make The Craft engaging initially; but by the end, any sort of nuance in the plot has been boiled down to good vs. evil. One thing this movie can teach us: Witches all wear flowing, Stevie Nicks clothes and cake on the eyeliner.
