Loved the vibe? Here are ten films that hit similar notes—with match scores, reasons to watch, and where to stream in the US.
People revisit The Craft for the same reason it broke through in 1996: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a drama rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Andrew Fleming keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The horror and drama blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.

Much of what makes The Craft compelling — the fantasy, the comedy — shows up in Hocus Pocus (1993) in a slightly different form. Both films understand that funny storytelling works best when it trusts the audience.
