The Craft.... Es una película que nos demuestra como un inmenso poder puede terminar en una verdadera Locura....Nancy es un personaje que nos engancha y asusta de cierta manera por su impulso de poder y respeto. Espero les guste mi versión de la bella Nancy... 🕷️ 🕷️ 🕷️ 🕷️ 🕷️

The Craft (1996)

Though I don't love The Craft, I recognize why it has a cult following. Fairuza Balk gives a terrific, memorable performance. The way witchcraft is handled makes the familiar story appealing. Despite its weak ending, the way elements of sisterhood are combined with the supernatural will instantly click with teenage girls.

Sarah Bailey (Robin Tunney) has just moved to Los Angeles with her father and stepmother. At school, she befriends a trio of outcasts - Nancy (Fairuza Balk), Bonnie (Neve Campbell), and Rochelle (Rachel True). Delighted to finally have “a fourth”, they introduce Sarah to witchcraft. Whether their deepest desires concern love or vengeance, they get what they want but the power they wield is no plaything.

For only the briefest moment, the film keeps you wondering whether the supernatural stuff we see is simply teenage imaginations run wild. Despite having no basis in reality, the characters and their bond feels authentic. Nancy is the alpha of the group and her friendship with Sarah is… peculiar. They’re the kind of friends who would drift away as soon as high school ends but for now are inseparable. They're far closer to each other than to Bonnie or Rochelle but Nancy's jealousy of Sarah is obvious.

The girls’ late-night conversations about boys, the people they hate at school, and what they’re discovering feel like they've been lifted from real life. The picture gets so many details right you’ll be shocked to learn the screenwriters were both men. Even the rituals performed on stormy nights feel legit by being kind of hokey. The magic's rules - deliberately fluid and ambiguous - also help sell the story.

Many young women - perhaps young men too - will see a part of themselves in the quartet as they decide to carve out an even deeper niche for themselves by dabbling in sorcery. Then, "The Craft: runs out of things to do and a standard villain emerges. We forget about Bonnie and Rochelle so Sarah and Nancy can be placed into firm “good” and “evil” boxes. The film doesn’t ultimately know what to do with its sisterhood. So much of what we saw before dealt with the characters purging their insecurities and talking frankly about what bothered them. Then, POOF! Fight! Once the dust settles, this whole thing doesn’t seem quite as fresh and original as you thought.

Many elements of The Craft are terrific. Focus on those and you’ve got a movie you’ll hold near and dear to your heart. Too bad the good stuff is concentrated in the beginning and middle. While it seems impossible to get another actress who would hold a candle to Fairuza Balk, and setting the film in modern times would give it an entirely different feel, this is exactly the kind of movie that should get remade. Twisting the horror nobs down and upping the drama would do wonders for this story. Until then, The Craft is worth checking out. There’s a good chance it’ll resonate with you.
