	Movies - The Craft

The Craft is a 1996 movie directed by Andrew Fleming about a girl who moves to Los Angeles, California from San Francisco, California and meets three friends who teach her about the world of witchcraft. As they become more adept at witchcraft, they experience good fortune, and put curses on their enemies. Sarah, played by Robin Tunney becomes increasingly separated from the other three girls, and soon finds that her best friends can become her worst enemies. Sarah later discovers that her late mother was a powerful white witch, and unlike the other girls, she has the inherent gift of witchcraft herself.

Pop culture impact

The film employed state of the art special effects, presenting "gothic fashion" and pagan behaviour to the MTV Generation in an attractive package. Through this exposure, many teenage viewers gained an interest in witchcraft/paganism, especially Wicca. Though some of the interest waned, the movie helped lesser known religions come into the spotlight for a time. Much of The Craft is fictional, though a large amount of the content is not. In some places the movie helped to educate people on the rules and ethics of the Wiccan tradition, which are portrayed quite truthfully in the movie. "An ye harm none do as ye will"

Trivia

The musical group Love Spit Love recorded the song "How Soon Is Now?", which was originally sung by 80s music group The Smiths, for the film. Two years later the WB television series Charmed was created, also centered on young witches, and used the same song as its introduction theme song.
