  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
New girl Sarah (Tunney) tries to fit in among a tightly knit student body of a Catholic high school. Three other outcasts, Nancy (Balk), Bonnie (Campbell) and Rochelle (True), barely fitting in with each other, find a power when Sarah joins their secret circle

DVD Picture:

Images are sharp and detailed, with occasionally soft backgrounds. Color fidelity is excellent, with balanced fleshtones, rich hues, and deep, pure blacks. Shadow delineation is superb, with a natural gradation of visual information in the darker scenes. Occasional enhancement is noticed, but never is too much of a distraction.

Soundtrack:
