bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.
The Craft. 1996. Witchcraft. Wicca. Fairuza Balk. Robin Tunney. Neve Campbell
Four high school misfits who experiment with witchcraft must deal with the consequences of their newfound abilities
Having just moved to Los Angeles, Sarah (Robin Tunney) is an outsider
at St. Benedict's Academy until she meets three other social outcasts.
Nancy (Fairuza Balk), Bonnie (Neve Campbell) and Rochelle (Rachel True)
will never fit in with the “in” crowd. But together with Sarah, they
learn that being an outsider has its own kind of power. Nancy, Bonnie
and Rochelle dabble in the occult, and when they notice Sarah has the
powers of a natural witch, they talk her into joining their coven. With
the addition of a fourth witch they find they can cast spells they
couldn't before, and the teenage witches are suddenly not only able to
get the attention, praise and love they have long been denied-but also
to exact vengeance on classmates, parents and boyfriends. They learn,
however, that everything comes with consequences.
The Wicker Man. 1973. Paganism. Witchcraft. Occult. Christopher Lee. Britt Ekland
Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on the small
Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the report of a missing
child. A conservative Christian, the policeman observes the residents'
frivolous sexual displays and strange pagan rituals, particularly the
temptations of Willow (Britt Ekland),
daughter of the island magistrate, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee).
The more Sergeant Howie learns about the islanders' strange practices,
the closer he gets to tracking down the missing child.
