Basically Entertaining With A Life Lesson Attached
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
The Craft is an entertaining movie about four Catholic High School girls who form a witches' coven in order to deal with their individual life problems. They remain the best of friends until the practical one, Sarah, realizes that they've bitten off more than they can chew by invoking the spirit on a May's eve. Their leader, Nancy, then becomes hostile and consumed by the entity inside her, taking its power through darkness and Sarah must invoke the spirit herself in order to fend for her life. The witchcraft portrayed in this film is highly inaccurate and does not reflect the true religion of Wicca. However, the life lesson found within this story of four friends cannot be ignored. Simply, what the movie seeks to tell us all is that we should never reckon with forces we don't fully understand, for there will be negative consequences. Furthermore, the film preaches a few other inevitable truths. When a gift is given, it should never be abused. Revenge is never the answer. Never attempt to find a quick fix for problems in your life. Humans should never attempt mastery over nature. Friendship is the most valuable gift of all. It is because of these human elements that the film endears.
