Who is this? Thats right good readers of POV music lover That Boy James is now an author, the lovely Jess has kindly allowed me to post my little movie rants on her blog which would just be out of place on mine, much like my own music blog it will just be short reviews of some of my favourite movies. EnjoyReleased: 1996
Starring: Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell. Rachel True
Run Time: 101 Minutes
"Watch out for the weirdos, girls. We are the weirdos, mister."
In my view the only movie about witchcraft that doesn’t resort to stereotypes and tired story lines to portray the ways of the witch. New girl at school Sarah falls in with the (surprise, surprise) outcasts of the school Nancy, Bonny and Rochelle who dabble in the dark arts discovering that Sarah is a natural witch they quickly form a tight coven. The ever present struggle for power is rife in this film as the covens actions don’t sit well with Sarah. She tries to distance her self from them only to drawn back in for a final showdown. A very slick and edgy film which portrays so well the angst of being a teen with a magical twist.
Side Note: You know I have to talk about it the music and whats used here just adds that extra facet to the film, that feeling of not abiding (How Soon is Now is a good example of this) to the social norms and the angst of growing up whist being different. Also you cant go past that distinctive 90's sound, my four favourites from this soundtrack are Sick Child by Siouxsie & The Banshees, Scorn by Portisehead, How Soon is Now by Love Spit Love (No match for the original by the Smiths) and I Have the Touch by Heather Nova.
