Review of Witch Hunt

Witch Hunt (I) (2021)
1/10
Avoid

Its movies like this that make me wonder how somethings get approved and some don't. I'm sure the writer/director meant well, you can get a gist of the political undertones it tries to convey. But it never really gets any job done. Its neither a good allegory or witch movie. Never tense, nor happy. It just drones along. Anytime you expect some sort of explanation, you're left empty save for a few miss-and-you'll-be-lost lines near the end. Fresh of watching this, the only thing magic was how it made 30-minutes feel like an hour. At best this should have been a concept for someone to pick up and fleshed out.

None of the faults should be laid of the actors/resses or crew, they all did their jobs, and did it to the best of their ability.

Avoid. Honestly, I see movies as art at 24-frames-per-second, and try not to dismiss another person's vision because art is subjective. This was terrible, even for my low standards.

If the writer sees my comment, I think you should work on this idea! There is something here, the trailer brought me too it, the initial idea is promising. Flesh out the world and story. A modern day world with witches is a good pitch.
