Tagline? Welcome to the Witching Hour 

 

This Saturday I watched The Craft. This movie is a 90s classic to me and a personal favorite. This movie came out in 1996. I was seven at the time. I actually didn’t see the full movie until I was twelve, but I caught bits and pieces on TV, along the way. Those bits and pieces got me interested in the movie, and when I finally saw it at Meijer’s on DVD I bought it.

The film revolves around Sarah, the suicidal-tendencies new girl. After moving, she joins the local Catholic High School in her town. Sarah then meets Bonnie, Nancy & Rochelle, three girls who have been working in the occult world. They decide to team up with Sarah after seeing that she is a natural witch (someone who is born with supernatural powers).

With Sarah in their group, they are more powerful than ever before. The group begins to right the wrongs in their lives. With this, they begin to realize that their powers are real, and they are strong. They begin to cast spells on classmates that have wronged them. After all the spells on the classmates work, Nancy wants to try something stronger. Nancy, with help from the trio decides to “invoke the spirit.” She succeeds and all the new power goes straight to her head. She goes insane with all the new power. After the girl’s earlier spells come back to haunt them Nancy kills Sarah’s ex-boyfriend for “hurting” her.

Sarah has realized that the power has indeed gone to an insane level in Nancy and that she needs to stop it. She doesn’t want anyone else’s blood on anyone’s hands. Sarah puts a binding spell on Nancy, but since Nancy is so strong it doesn’t work. Nancy finds out and is pissed off beyond belief. She gets Rochelle and Bonnie to team with her to confront Sarah.

Sarah knows what’s coming so she heads to the local witchcraft store. There she meets with Lyria and asks how she can stop Nancy. Lyria tells her that there is only one way to do so and that is to call a “higher power.” Sarah calls the higher power and she prepares to fight.

Now, I don’t want to give the rest away, but this is the best part of the movie, and definitely makes the whole movie worth the ending.  I definitely recommend all to at least rent this flick and to find out how it all ends for themselves. At least watch the trailer to see if it’s something you’re interested in. (Below…. I made it VERY easy…)

The Craft was a sleeper hit grossing just 10 million above its 15 million budget. According to Box Office Mojo, this film is the 7^th highest grossing film since 1980 that has to deal with witches.
