I think the reason Rochelle was punished is because she didn’t really confront her bully in a mature way. She could have taught Laura a lesson about tolerance instead of going for superficial means of revenge, just like how Nancy could have reported her stepdad instead of killing him.

@@spiceupyourafterlife I'm sure both characters felt that the alternative route wouldn't have really accomplished anything.

If you've never seen it, "The Worst Witch" is a made-for-HBO kids movie from the 80s starring Fairuza Balk as the titular "Worst Witch" at a (pre-Harry Potter) boarding school for witches. It is horrible and amazing and has an INSANE cameo from Tim Curry, and my personal head canon is it's the delusional narrative crafted by Nancy's shattered mind at the end of The Craft.

I loved "Worst Witch" when I was a kid! Of course, at the time I would go for any remotely child-friendly media that involved witches*, so... *When adults asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I would definitely have said "witch" if I didn't already know that magic wasn't real. When I found "spell" books in the library I was briefly really excited until I realized: "Wait. This is basically praying/wishing, but with extra herbs, isn't it? I don't want 'summoning a positive attitude' spells, I want to know how to levitate or talk to animals, damn it!"

I just watched this with my daughter a week ago. Hadn't seen it since high-school. It struck me that Nancy wants power because she has been powerless her whole life. She uses her power to lift herself out of poverty and she kills 2 abusers. We see Sarah use her power to change her hair color and make a boy like her. I think if this movie had been written by someone with a more progressive world view the villain and hero would have been switched. I still really enjoyed the movie though.

I disagree with this. Sarah, Bonnie and Rochelle have very realistic desires for teenagers. To be pretty, to get revenge on a bully, to get the boy I like to like me. It's all naive, innocent wishes that they didn't know the proper weight for. Why is pursuing love and romance uncool? Rubs me the wrong way. Anyway, the other three girls' wishes serves to highlight the difference between them and Nancy. It gives precedence why it was Nancy who abused her power. I don't know how a "progressive" take on this movie will improve it. It'll be validating, sure, but will read more like a self-insert power fantasy, where the main character beat up/kill people who "deserve it" and are totally justified until the end.

To me the movie has always been about "friends" stealing your power for their own gain. It is heavily implied that Sarah was the only witch with real power. The others use Sarah's power while pretending they don't get all their power from her, pretending the power comes from all of them, they're a *coven*. After awhile this works so well they start to think they don't even need Sarah any more... It's about toxic friendships (like cults) that abuse the vulnerable.

That's kinda reasonable, because they had actual Wiccan consultants on this movie to make sure they weren't doing a satanic panic. Like... the representation of magic as a neutral amoral force, the good witch character, divinity as a feminine-coded immanent deity who encompasses light and dark... the stuff about calling Manon into themselves is really close to 'calling down the moon', a big ritual deal in Wicca. Even the whole thing of bad witches who sacrifice animals and hurt others for gain, but are defeated by the magic of good witches, is extremely in line with the kind of stuff influential Gardnerian grandma Doreen Valiente was into a few years before. (She rationalised away the satanic panic by concluding that newspapers couldn't only have been scaremongering, and evil witches really existed, but she was one of the Good Ones fighting them with her magic powers to keep people safe.) Overall it painted a picture of witchcraft from an unusually Wiccan perspective. I can't think of another movie that's quite as Wiccan as The Craft, even ones that have fully sympathetic witch protagonists. It captured that unique vibe of finding empowerment by embracing scary shit, and learning to accept the consequences. And tbh, I think that's an appealing worldview.

I seem to remember lots of double feature VHS releases in the mid to late 90s, with some very loose conceptual connections between the films.

As a Pagan, I find The Craft such a fascinating cultural artifact. For one, its production showed a great amount of sensitivity towards its subject matter. The original writer created the idea after actually, like, interacting with Wiccans in his personal life, not just from sensationalized TV. The production hired an actual Wiccan priestess to advise on the film, and they avoided using the names of any deities from actual religions so as to not treat the subject vainly. And in terms of effect, it was part of a wave of media in the late 1990s that depicting Witchcraft, Wicca, Magic, and Paganism in, if not always positive, at least thoroughly nuanced light. And that contributed to a major wave of growth in the Pagan/Witchcraft community in the late 90s-early 2000s, the plateau of which has been ridden up through...well, now. We've been in the midst of another major wave the past few years, so it makes sense that the original is being revisited and reinvented.

I think the idea of how they get their powers so quickly is that Sarah is some sort of natural witch who has powers within her, and it is that ability that unlocks the powers of the other three when she joins their coven. It didn't seem like the others could actually do anything before Sarah joined them, they just dressed like goths and were pagans of some sort. So it isn't that anyone can quickly become powerful by practicing witchcraft, only people associated with someone with the powerful light inside them.

As a young person into 'witchcraft' (tarot and chanting over tea lights) the Craft was the absolute bomb. It was like "wow, if only I knew enough people to do some chanting with me, then I could be that powerful". For people really into witchy stuff the magic in the Craft doesn't seem inconsistent, every high school person into witchy stuff would be like "yes this makes sense". The fact they get powerful enough to fly is obviously because they managed to get 4 people in a coven, a goal unattainable for the high school weirdos who like tarot and chanting, who are either a coven of one, hopefully a coven of two, sometimes manage a coven of three then all fall out arguing over who is who in the 'maiden, mother, crone' dynamic before they ever get a coven of four.

This movie always rubbed me the wrong way. It occurred to me why when I looked up who wrote it. Not super interested in a movie about female power and friendship written by two dudes (not saying it can't be done well, just that I don't think this is it). I watched The Craft for the first time as an adult and don't have any nostalgia for it, which is probably why I don't love it the way everyone seems to. It's so mean-spirited and the ending is really bland, like "yeah great cool, what was learned or accomplished here?" The aesthetic seems fun and the acting is really good, so no shade if this is your favorite.

To fend for yourself in our cruel teenage world, you have to get in touch with your dark side, but without losing yourself in it. I think that's the basic message, and I think it's not entirely wrong.

I think the fact it was male writers explains why the revenge for attempted sexual assault was a sex thing :/

It didn't even cross my mind that it could be a combination of spooky and celebration. I instantly thought like, "Spooky masturbation, sure makes sense to me" so, sorry I'm part of the reason you had to clarify that.

I was always weirded out by the sharks thing. Of everything in this movie, I feel like the sharks...jumped the shark.

Seems kind of like an episode of Goosebumps but a bit edgier and more risqué.

Fun fact! When I was 15, my friend and I tried to sneak into The Craft while my mom and sister saw Amy Grant. But we were caught because no one else bought a ticket.
