After killing her mother in childbirth, growing up in San Francisco with her father and stepmother, attempting suicide, and moving to Los Angeles, Sarah (Robin Tunney) makes a brief stab at popularity at her new Catholic high school. Ostracized due to the untrue kiss-and-tell tales of football player Chris (Skeet Ulrich), Sarah reluctantly befriends a trio of self-styled outsiders: the horribly scarred Bonnie (Neve Campbell), the trailer-trash Nancy (Fairuza Balk), and Rochelle (Rachel True), a frequent victim of anti-black prejudice at the hands of Laura Lizzie (former Marcia Brady and future Mrs. Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor). After exhibiting latent telekenitic powers in front of Bonnie, Sarah learns that her three new friends have chosen her as their "fourth corner," the final member of their supernatural coven. Using tools stolen from a local incense-and-candle-filled boutique for practitioners of magic, the quartet summons the power of Manon, a primitive deity, to exact revenge on their tormentors and transform their lives. Drunk with power, they watch their spells get out of control, and the new coven soon realizes that with magic, "whatever you give comes back three-fold." This mid-'90s horror flick scored first place at the box office its opening weekend despite its then-unknown cast and modest budget. TV star Neve Campbell, who didn't even receive top billing, would go on to become the '90s answer to '70s horror queen Jamie Lee Curtis in the Scream franchise. ~ Brian J. Dillard, All Movie Guide

when i first saw this movie. i began with the feeling of.. this was going to be schlock for the masses. yet inside the beauty of the onscreen performers, there was a great story. with the leads being played by four up and coming actresses..it was great to see them playing each differently..but never straying from the bond they had. for example..supremely underrated fairua balk plays the main power hungry girl. but inside your performance you can see her need for followers. neve campbell plays the girl with scars from a fire.. that magically disappear.. and turn her into a goddess. which she takes full advantage of. rachel true plays the least fulfilled character.. who merely cause of her color..is met with resistance on her swim team. but who completes the initial group of three.. enter robin tunney who is perhaps the most powerful and pure of all the girls. she comes to town and completes the four.. which is when all the fun starts..
a great movie made with the idea that strength is inside. and friendship is everlasting.. and drives some crazy. a good film to start..a good film to the end.
