The Craft - Any opinions? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

I have to say that this is a great film. While it's an Oscar award winning film, it's a great film to watch. If you enjoyed the television series "Charmed", I think you'll like this film. I ended up picking up this film for $10. It's a great bargain if you can get it for around $10. The film stars "Robin Tunney, who starred in the movie, Vertical Limit and co-stars on the television series "The Mentalist".

I wouldn't exactly compare it to Charmed. I think Charmed is very Bouncy and Silly... The Craft is pretty Dark.

But I like it a lot!

One of my favorite teen films, sadly it is OOP here in Brazil and I can't import it right now, but I can't wait to have my copy of it.

I'm surprised I never got around to seeing this as I was a young teen around the time of release and ate these kinds of movies up back then. Might have to give it a chance now, though I suspect it won't play nearly as well without the nostalgia of seeing it as a kid.

You might be surprised. I didn't see it as a child and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

the craft still holds up pretty well. always been one of my favorites.

KillaCam · 12-21-2015, 07:05 PM

Watched it when I was younger and really enjoyed it. I watched it again on Netflix a year or so ago and still enjoyed it, so I need to pick this up.

A Tortured Duckling · 12-21-2015, 07:21 PM

Very enjoyable, indeed. Great to actually watch, or even to keep playing in the background during a poker game.

I also think Fairuza Balk is ridiculously hot in this one. She isn't your stereotypical "beautiful" Hollywood girl, and the Nancy character fits her just right. I feel the same about Helena Bonham Carter as Marla and Bellatrix Lestrange. So damn hot.

Decent movie IMO. Worth buying on blu for $9.99 or less.

The Craft is a really fun movie. Everyone is excellent in it, and it just sort of captures that 90s gestalt well.

Will Sony release a special edition with a some new bonus material since they're remaking the film? I hope so. Including a cast commentary! The actors aren't really big names, well, Neve Campbell is in House of Cards. It's got such a big cult following. I can't see why they'd pass on something like that. It needs an updated transfer anyway. Hopefully taken from the original negative.

That would be awesome!

The sound on this disc is pretty powerful. Felt like I was watching this movie for the first time almost.

that would be cool
hmm i don't know at least a couple of them are huge names
Campbell and Balk were mega in the 90s

MassiveMovieBuff · 10-29-2020, 04:49 AM

I watched this for the first time since the late 90s recently and wholeheartedly loved it. It's aged wonderfully and it's even better than I remember. The four girls are great especially Fairuza Balk who is outstanding! They have excellent chemistry. I ordered this blu ray right after I watched it.

WBMakeVMarsMovieNOW · 10-29-2020, 04:50 AM

A UHD of this would be awesome.
I think it might have been on the survey list the studio sent out.

Jay H. · 10-29-2020, 05:30 AM

My first movie date with the girl who would eventually be my first wife was The Craft. It's the only time I've seen it, I don't remember much about it, and I divorced her 15 years ago.

My opinion of The Craft? I've never had any desire to see it again, so...

All the Gals are great. Great Film. Lotsa fun... in a Horror sorta way.

The worst thing about it is Robin Tunney's distracting wig.
