Hands On Crafts For Kids (DVD)

Advantages: Surprisingly good
Disadvantages: None

...The Craft. A story of witchcraft and revenge. Four girls Nancy, Sarah, Bonnie and Rachelle who don,t quite fit in at their strict catholic school. The four girls come to terms with their powers and as they grow the evil released soon becomes too much for them to control and people around them will soon begin to suffer . The film surprised me at being actually very good. the acting was again superb and the plot was decent. the story moved along at at good pace and the ending was expected. Nothing new in this film but it delivered a watchable film. Worth your time if it comes on TV.

Advantages: It has teenage witches and stuff so it must be cool
Disadvantages: It isn't bad, but could've done better with the material

It?s a difficult one to categorise though ? it doesn?t quite fit in with teen-horrors like Scream, but nor is it the more straightforward teen flick about dating (e.g. American Pie).

Advantages: Really good story, Inventive, Great for the whole family
Disadvantages: This type of film has been done before

There is a lot of action, but without all the violence and gore. The director has aimed this film at kids with a sense of fun and playfulness.

Due to the huge success of this film an extended version was made that includes special effects not shown in the original film. Special effect sequences were shown on this that were not previously affordable in the previous budget. These are shown on the DVD. This is definitely a film worth watching for its entertainment factor. It is bright and colourful throughout and gadget... Read review
