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.

Why are people dogging this movie? It has a fully fleshed-out concept with good character development and acting. The main actor explores a lot of emotions as she comes of age and faces danger and the law. So it ties some current events as themes in its fantasy story.... So what!

The movie has multiple plot lines and depth. They used their budget well and the pacing is solid. The effects are cool and the witchiness is mysterious and frowned upon by the scared normals. It's kind of like the early X-Men movies in this regard.

I watch all types of movies (mostly horror and drama) and this kept my interest. It also has a cool old American style with all the furniture and cars. People have this stuff and smartphones, MacBooks, etc.

I was entertained by this.

Probably too many budget restrictions.

Scenes feels too slow .

I wanted to like it better.

It is watchable, and maybe a female audience will enjoy it better then the male ones?

Cheers.

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.

Witch Hunt is set in an alternative modern day USA in which witches are hunted, tried and executed. A teenage girl and her mother in Southern California help accused women find safety but their lives change for good when the daughter is charged with being a witch. This is an interesting idea and makes a change to the slew of modern zombie, vampire and slasher movies, sadly the reason for this draconian and horrific state of affairs is not explained. This is a fairly mild horror movie, perhaps supernatural fantasy or thriller would best describe it. I would say that the target audience is teenage girls and female twenty somethings but as a middle aged man I found this to be a reasonable time filler. The acting is OK but the CGI effects look quite cheap, there are some incredibly generous reviews on here, take these with a pinch of salt! One of the most memorable scenes has girls being ducked by witch finders in a school swimming pool, fair play to the makers to come up with that!
