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.
