The Craft
For Sarah (Robin Tunney), moving to Los Angeles is just another
chance to be an outsider. She is all alone among the tightly-knit student
body of St. Benedict's Academy ... until she meets three young women who
also have found themselves banished to the outermost reaches of high school's
inevitable pecking order. Nancy (Fairuza Balk), Bonnie (Neve Campbell)
and Rochelle (Rachel True) will never fit in with the "in" crowd. They
barely fit in with each other. But together with Sarah, their outer and
inner lives are about to change in ways they never suspected. They are
about to learn that being an outsider has its own kind of power. They are
about to learn The Craft. |

from practical magic. But the invocation of the Owens' socery also carries
a price--some call it a curse: the men they fall in love with are doomed
to an untimely death. Trying to distance herself from her foremothers,
the quieter Sally denies her powers and strives to build herself a 'normal'
magic-free life. The more fiery Gillian, reckless and restless and thrilled
by her pull over men. When Gillian meets Jimmy, a malevolent drifter, she
unwittingly sets off a chain of explosive events that brings police officer
Gary Hallet onto the family porch and into Sally's heart, while releasing

women.
