Overview

The Craft is a 1996 film centered on the experiences of a newcomer attending a Catholic school. Upon enrolling at the institution, the protagonist integrates into a social clique consisting of three other teenage girls. The narrative focuses on the group as they practice witchcraft and develop supernatural abilities. As the story progresses, the four students begin to utilize their collective powers to target individuals who oppose them. Their supernatural activities are directed toward a variety of figures within their lives, including school teachers, personal rivals, and parents who interfere with their affairs.
