Entertaining and Fun Future-Set Witch-Hunt Fantasy - Witch Hunt review by PV
I enjoyed this - a neat cheap horror flick. It obviously panders to the present craze for MeToo movies with mostly feamle main characters but unlike so many of those tedious preachy flops, this film is actually entertaining.
'Set in the future' is often an alarm bell for such films. However, here it sort of works, weirdly.
The movie has pace too and is entertaining. As a metaphor for those being pursued in the woke witch hunts of now, this is like The Crucible of the McCarthy era.
The classic movie reference is fun but the film loses momentum after the excellent beginning first act. By the 3rd act, it's running out of petrol, for sure.
But better than most horrors. Why 4 stars.
