The Witch
Why this pick
Its female-centered supernatural power struggle and escalating distrust echo The Craft, but with a colder, folk-horror atmosphere and meticulous period dread.

01
02
Jennifer's Body
Why this pick
A sharp, darkly funny high-school horror about female friendship, desire, alienation, and dangerous transformation—very close to The Craft’s stylish teen-goth energy.
03
Ginger Snaps
Why this pick
This mordant suburban horror uses a fiercely bonded pair of outcast girls and bodily transformation to channel the same rebellious, feminine coming-of-age darkness.
04
Suspiria
Why this pick
Its women-run institution, ritualized power, and tactile occult style make it a more adult, intensely visual cousin to The Craft’s coven dynamics.
05
The Love Witch
Why this pick
A lush, knowingly retro witch tale with spellcraft, romance, and vivid feminine visual styling; it matches The Craft’s glamorous occult appeal while leaning more satirical.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Sarah Bailey, a troubled teenager, has just moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles with her father and stepmother. At her new school, she forms a friendship with a group of girls considered outcasts for one reason or another and rumored to be witches besides, Bonnie Harper (who bears burn scars from an auto accident), Nancy Downs (whose family is of modest means and whose stepfather is abusive) and Rochelle Zimmerman (who is African-American in the predominantly white school). At the same time, Sarah becomes attracted to the popular Chris Hooker. Bonnie, Nancy and Rochelle worship a powerful deity named "Manon".
