The Craft

 (1996)

Drama | Fantasy | Horror | Thriller



For Sarah, 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, Bonnie and Rochelle 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."

Starring: Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Rachel True, Skeet Ulrich
Director: Andrew Fleming


The Craft Blu-ray, Video Quality

  n/a


The Craft conjures up a wonderful 1080p, 1.85:1-framed transfer for its Blu-ray debut. Colors are natural and nicely rendered; Nancy's black leather jacket, the bright red lockers that line the hallways of St. Benedict's Academy, and green foliage in an outdoor scene in chapter six all contribute to the transfer's stable and solid color palette that adds a nice level of vibrancy to the image. Colors are still perhaps just the slightest but muted in some scenes, but look wonderful nevertheless. Fine detail is above-average but not exemplary; viewers will see freckles on Sarah's face, textures on tree trunks, and fine lines in clothing. The image retains a layer of grain that lends to it a fine film-like appearance and allows it to retain more detail, texture, and depth. Flesh tones are spot-on, and black levels are good. Some interior scenes look a bit hazy, and several backgrounds aren't quite as sharp as others, but such are minor complaints in what is otherwise yet another visually pleasing and natural catalogue release from Sony.


The Craft Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  Array of 5


The Craft casts a spell over its listeners with a quality DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack. The brief witchcraft scene prior to the opening title sequence delivers a nice sense of atmosphere as wind blows, thunder claps, and girls chant; it's followed by a steady and strong presentation of a rock song that delivers a satisfying, room-filling listen. These scenes set the tone for the remainder of the film where the surround speakers are nicely engaged throughout. Student chatter as heard during Sarah's initial arrival on campus fills the soundstage nicely and does a good job of placing the listeners in the midst of the hallowed halls. A thunderstorm in chapter five delivers a full experience that takes advantage of the entire soundstage, placing booms of thunder and steady rain all around the listening area. The track also features a wonderful collection of more subtle ambient effects, particularly during several outdoor scenes that are almost good enough to fool the listener into feeling a part of the environment. An explosion -- of sorts -- rocks the listening area in chapter 13 with a prodigious wave of bass; while the low end isn't a consistent companion throughout the film, it's used to good effect when called upon. Also delivering problem-free dialogue reproduction, The Craft's lossless soundtrack is every bit the match for the high quality video presentation.
