Wait, we know Bonnie And Rochelle’s reason for turning against Sarah: Sarah tried to bind Nancy from using magic. The three original members of the group have been friends for years. They know Nancy’s horrific home life. They probably understand that magic is Nancy’s one lifeline. Granted, there are some “Mean Girls” dynamics going on, too, but Nancy is the leader. She has Rochelle and Bonnie’s loyalty. And, another important factor: Sarah acted directly against one of her “sisters.” Nancy only attacked Chris after he assaulted Sarah. From the girls’ perspectives, Chris had it coming and Nancy was avenging Sarah (and, obviously, herself).

I feel like there might also be an implication that the magic corrupts. As for the guy, that kinda makes sense to me, too. When you really like someone, you can look past all kinds of bullshit.

Same! I loved this movie as a pre-teen. I thought their motivations were very clear. The two were first followers of Nancy, whether out of loyalty or even fear. The fact that Sarah tried to bind Nancy after Nancy did what she considered a favor for Sarah didn't help, either. They also seemed jealous of Sarah for being a "natural" witch who had a better handle on spells. So sure enough, once Nancy was out of the picture, they go to appease the next strongest witch, which was Sarah. They always seemed kind of cowardly in that way.

Nancy was pretty much jealous of Sarah from the start. Chris liked Sarah; Sarah was naturally better at magic. Bonnie & Rochelle pretty much did what Nancy said. Sarah pushed back. Plus, as Sarah pointed out, Bonnie and Rochelle's personalities changed when their spells worked. None of the 3 wanted to lose their power and they needed their 4th. Did anyone see Jawbreaker? Kind of a similar thing-they kill their friend accidentally, then cover it up, and the 2 become enemies of Rebecca Gayheart because she no longer wants to "follow" what Rose McGowan says.

You obviously haver never been around teenagers? They have conflicting and chaotic feelings like that, that storyline is completely plausible in the 90's.

Sarah was attempting to get them to realize they were becoming different people but then again she did immediately bond with them. When the other girls turned on Sarah, they thought that they would go back to being outcasts and they didn't want to lose their power.

Sarah even mentions that her powers are always getting things mixed up, which I saw as her not understanding her powers and knowing how to direct it. Lovely review!

When I saw this movie for the first time, I thought the other 3 girls had gravitated to Sarah because she had powers and they didn’t. Sarah is the only one with powers at the end, so I think that theory is pretty solid.

This is one of my favorite guilty-pleasure movies. We watched it at almost every slumber party growing up. And of course, we then had to play light as a feather, stiff as a board.

The turn of the movie is during the car ride through the traffic lights, this is when Nancy starts to win influence over the other two, as Sarah was kinda "pulling them away from her".. this is why it was out of the blue, when she took in the power she used it to influence them, she probably realized the power was from Sarah and was further jealous of her.. this really explains the turn ending as well when they are like "sorry.. ..." the big thing that held this movie back was the pacing and editing choices... they either needed to lose some scenes, or add another 1/2 hour too.. It feels like a sequel to a movie that was adapted from a script not meant to be part of a franchise due to being so fractured in plot and pacing... but it's definitely not a bad movie. I think maybe they thought they had like 9 months to film and then 6 months later the studio called and asked if it would still be ready to premiere in 3 months, so they had to rush every thing to finish up lol

@@Luv2Dnce4 yes, they say they never thought it would go that far, and that they were just started out as pranks, they ask her if she wants to hang out and chant, and when she turns them down Roch says "she prolly doesn't have powers anyway"... and they laugh thinking they are safe, because they still don't know it was Nancy that was using Sarah's powers to influence them, they still thought that Nancy had power of her own, and that they did as well, when the fact is they had obviously only seen real magic happen after Sarah arrived, they hadn't even done levitation yet, and even that scared/excited them lol, Sarah is the one that granted Roch and Bonnie's wishes, she is a good witch, a natural witch.. Nancy had convinced herself so much that she was the alpha, when the power left her it made her mad, as she is seen in an asylum at the end as well.

SUCH a fantastic movie! Just rewatched it and it’s still a thrilling and entertaining ride up to this day. Thank you for reviewing this cult classic!!

If I remember correctly, it is hinted that Sarah's mom was a witch. I think that's why she had latent abilities and was this powerful. I remember when I was young, I was wishing they'd make a sequel with Sarah where we see her use her powers.

Neve Campbell was incredible in this film

I can see where the problems lie but I think it's more of a perspective issue. The filmmakers saw a completed plot, where everyone else saw the weak points.

The thing about Sarah being the only one with powers.. that's how I always understood the movie, and why it's always worked for me - even the last part where Sarah shows that -she-, not the others, is the one to be feared.

I always understood it the same way. Right up until the "Invoking the Spirit" ritual, it seemed like Sarah was the only one who had any magic, and it was only her coming into their circle that allowed the other girls' spells to work, almost like she's the battery and the other girls are the conduit for her power. Even when Sarah is performing the glamour spell, I noticed, the other girls ask *her* to change their appearances, something they wouldn't need to do if they could use magic themselves. When Nancy successfully Invokes the Spirit and suddenly *she's* the one who can use magic without Sarah's influence, I always figured that was the reason they all turned on Sarah, because they no longer needed her, and Nancy, blinded by her jealousy and corrupted by her newfound power, wanted to reclaim her queen bee status.

I’m a huge fan of the craft and I have never heard the theory of Sarah having all the power! Thank you so much for your review of this classic yet flawed film !

When you realize Billy Loomis and Sydney Prescott are in this...

If Mean Girls was in Hogwarts..... kind of.

Perfect timing, saw this movies yesterday for the first time

Great shout out for simply safe. You can tell you actually use the product. I love that. I’m going to check them out, especially issue with flooding in basement!

The teeneger movies of 90's were great and uniques!!! I love all kind of movies of that era!!!

Please review “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” Chris, really curious to hear your thoughts on it!

Witches of eastwick had strong woman characters which was released 11 years prior

Hi Chris.. loving your 8th Halloween special. Watching all these videos the moment u upload.hope you cram way more in before the end of October

07:40 - THIS was exactly what I thought, the other girls only found power when Sarah appeared and that added an element of complexity to the story. I always wanted a follow up as to how she handled the next phase of her life. Sidenote, this was a massive coming of age film for me, along with Scream and I Know What you Did Last Summer. I think The Craft was the first mature film I rented by myself aged 15 from Global Video - a UK version of Blockbuster (I miss the 90's). Great analysis, I never clicked so fast 😎

I never realized that Sarah’s motives might be hard to understand. I saw this movie when I was sixteen, a girl in high school, dealing with the exact same issues of wanting guys to like me but then also not wanting to be pushed into going farther than I wanted. Wanting to play the game without getting hurt or hurting anyone else is pretty impossible and it was so realistic to me that I never questioned it.

This isn't even about just "teenage girls." This happens with grown women AND MEN all of the time! When you are desperate to fit in, and you struggle with loneliness and suicidal tendencies (Sarah has slit her wrists before) you are bound to attach to toxic people in more ways than one. They were a toxic friend group to begin with. This is shit that happens within those kinds of settings. Yes, very "Mean Girls"-like. And that could explain her trying to rationalize Chris' assault of her. Someone struggling with her issues would absolutely want to "protect" her abusers. It had codependency written all over it.

I have had the dvd for about 10 years now. I really like this movie, even though it's not perfect, it's really fun.

Such a great analysis on this movie; Loved the movie then and still 👏 I appreciate that fan theory of the girls never really having powers on their own- that Sarah was the only one who had true powers. Because she was a natural witch like her mother. This theory also makes sense because at the beginning of the movie, the 3 girls tell Sarah that they have called the corners for fun only but after Sarah joined them, that is when things started to really happen

Fairuza Balk the best character and actress in the movie on my opinion of course💀🤘one of the first goths I really loved

Every girl in my school truly believed they were witches. Including me🧙🏾‍♀️

I initially saw this movie as a teen because I saw Scream, had a crush on skeet ulrich and rented this movie, just to see him again (embarrasses), and was pleasantly surprised. This is one of the few teen movies where the main characters are the outsiders.

Fairuza Balk really reminds me a lot of Judy Garland or her daughter, Liza Minelli. So it's really fitting that she was cast as Dorothy in Return to Oz.

For some reason I owned a VHS copy of this movie when I was in 4th grade. I lent it to a friend and his mom was PISSED. Great movie though

How do you NOT understand the storyline about Sarah casting the spell on Chris??? She was into him, he turned out to be a jerk. She was like a woman scorned, she wanted revenge, while at the same time she still had feelings. Feelings don't go away instantly. Especially when you're a teenager, they're all over the place. She wanted to have power over him, hence the humiliation, but she's still a good person, so obviously she was upset and full of regret when the spell went too far. Contrary to what you said, this is a brilliant and nuanced storyline. It sucks that it went over your head. Peace xo

I don't understand why the reviewer can't understand why Sarah wouldn't want a popular boy to fancy her?!

Have not heard of this until you and a bunch of others have started talking about it recently. Thanks for the recommendation and all of the videos, Chris!

I rewatched it recently and to me both moments made perfect sense. Sarah initially puts the spell on that boy to humiliate him but, as she drifts apart from her sisters, she ends up seeing him as someone to confine her feelings to and sees him on a different light. Then the spell starts to get out of control and he gets violent but she never blames him for it. Then her sisters turned against her because Sarah tries to bind Nancy and Nancy has control over the other ones, so she makes sure they follow her. Probably the other 2 are worried that she will take everything away from them as she threats to do to Sarah. Also the whole turning into Sarah to seduce and murder Chris is a way for her to take control and show dominance over Sarah. I see it as a way for her to get revenge of what Chris and her step-father did to her as well.

Hey Chris, any chance we'll see reviews for Ghostbusters 1 and 2, or the Barry Sonnenfield Addams Family movies, for the month of Halloween?

Happy Friday Chris! Remember when you said that the Last Jedi was good?

Nancy’s performance at the end of the film is great. She’s truly bat shit insane.

Admittedly, I love this movie. Nancy is ICONIC.

This movie is a nostalgic *must* for anyone interested in "the path" or practicing witchcraft ♡

Nah I saw Charlie’s Angels & Ghostbusters’ box office receipts I’m happy hope there’s no hard feelings on the wokes part but the crying from Elizabeth Banks & Paul Feige suggests otherwise

I will always have a big smile on my face knowing during the behind the scenes of the movie, a lot of scenes involving saying spells caused a lot of strife ESPECIALLY the beach scene. All manner of shit went wrong EVERYTIME they spoke incantations, and it’s like “guys are we sure we have professionals on hand in case we open the seven plagues by accident??”

Lost Boys is my all time favorite movie. The nostalgia in it is amazing. The song cry little sister in the beginning sounds powerful and sets the whole movie up and the look and feel of the movie is great. In alot of ways it reminds me of my childhood. The craft also is one of those movie that captures the feel of that time period
