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

Rating: - Very entertaining
Anyone who has read any of my other reviews probably asks themselves, "how many favorites does this guy have?"well, here's another.this movie works on several levels for me.the witchcraft part is fun; there's been a ton of witchcraft movies, obviously, but the spin this one presents with a diverse, yet small, set of high school girls testing their skills is fun.the cast itself is fun; the actresses are good and the dialog is well.the video is particularly good as well, even for an older ...

- Lesson to be learnt
No should start some thing that he/ she cant finish. Things might get out of control. The world of Magic is real and very powerful. This movie depicts that at time innocent magiccan also back fire. Real Magic is for the strong and the integrated.
A movie worth watching!

Fire burn and cauldron bubble -witchcraft sure has changed since Shakespeare's day! For one, the coven of witches in "The Craft" are much more becoming than the hags portrayed in Shakespeare's Macbeth. The story centers around Sarah [a very young Robin Tunney] who is emotionally fragile, having recently failed in a suicide attempt. She moves with her father and stepmother to a new place, and finds it awkward at her new school until she is singled out by a group of girls, Nancy [a wicked Fairuza Balk], ... Read More
Rating: - Betrayal
The real story and the main selling point is betrayal. Nothing is more familiar than having a friend suddenly turn on you for no apparent reason. The characters herein are like that. They turn on each other, lie, cheat and even kill. This leads to the witchcraft. The movie has a before and after structure to it. Before magick, my parents and classmates had me down and after when I got even. Then there is a finale that has some of the magick working wonderfully, like gene therapy and teaching racists a ...
