The Craft

The "bitches of Eastwick" are a far cry from The Babysitters Club. They're a trio of high school witches looking for a fourth to make their spells take hold. Enter Sarah, a fellow outcast who is a "natural." Before you can say "bewitched," they take their revenge against a womanizing jock, a bigoted classmate and an abusive stepfather, before, ultimately, turning on each other. High school girls especially will love this nifty cross between Heathers and Carrie. Optional. (K. Lee Benson)[Blu-ray Review—Oct. 27, 2009—Sony, 101 min., R, $28.95—Making its first appearance on Blu-ray, 1996's The Craft sports a decent transfer with DTS-HD 5.1 sound. Blu-ray extras include audio commentary by director Andrew Fleming, a “Conjuring” making-of featurette (25 min.), deleted scenes (7 min.), a vintage behind-the-scenes featurette (6 min.), the BD-Live function, and trailers. Bottom line: a solid Blu-ray debut for an uneven teen chiller.]
