Witch Hunt

I am really tired of any yahoo coming into movies and just throwing 1's and 2's out because they can't get past a message they may not agree with. For one movies are meant to challenge your views and also speak about matters through art. As any art does.

Also! Horror has ALWAYS had its political messages you insanely vapid whiners. If you don't like horror then go watch an action film. There are loads of them.

First off the acting is not as bad as people are saying. Does it have a message that mirrors today. Yeah it does and it does a pretty damn good job of mirroring it. Which probably makes these 1 star rater madder than hell. Too bad. Find a safe space Jethro.

I think this will definitely resonate with people who aren't into period pieces. As I'm not much for them. This modern take is a bit on the feminine empowerment side. So if the thought of woman being strong bothers you. Go watch Steven Segal. But to be fair. Though it wasn't for me directly I still thought it was a thoughtful and sweet way to tell a story. Plus it's shot well and has a lot of moving parts in the film than just a straight message about current politics. It has like 3 stories or 3 sub genres woven together. Definitely a bit more unique than I thought it was gonna be.

Much more of an indie film exceeding it's financial restraints by story and ideas alone. Which I admire. I'd say about 6 & 1/2 to 7 for me. I didn't feel I wasted my time at all.

WITCH HUNT is posited as a horror movie but despite a handful of dark moment it turns out to be anything but. Instead this is an alternate reality story in which witches are common in society but still subject to the whims and wherefores of a religiously strict America which means that the witch burnings once commonplace in the middle ages are still taking place. I get the feeling that this was meant to be the horror version of THE HANDMAID'S TALE, but unfortunately as a film it's simply not very interesting: too slow, and with all the interesting plot bits squeezed in at the end. The only remarkable thing about it is the number of ginger actresses they've assembled in a single movie.

The actors were pretty good. They were believable and are the best part of this movie.

The music is too dramatic. Over the top, which takes away from the scenes instead of adding to them.

The overall feel of the movie is like a twilight zone episode. Slow buildup with a somewhat unexpected ending. At 1 hour and 37 minutes it is too much time for too little material.

It is almost an ok movie. Almost interesting. Like the smell of a great dinner cooking that when served disappoints. Worse because if it had been cooked right it would have been great.

The type of movie you stream while doing boring work to help pass the time.

A 4 is being generous.

The trailer looked promising however I gave up after about 45 minutes. I liked the premise of the film, however there is no explanation of how a death squad was hunting the witches and how they are relevant in modern society.

The pacing was also terribly slow, which didn't help at all.

Overall had potential but poorly executed.

This was more of a kids movie unlike the movie art show. It's also a pretty boring movie. The modern US would never kill off people that can become a military advantage. If fact these witches would be on the government payroll.
