WITCH HUNT is a parable of the crimes of the patriarchy in our society. It is about the injustice of xenophobia and misanthropy built into that structure.

| Dec 28, 2022

Witch Hunt skillfully balances sharp social commentary with sincerely shocking scares, making this a must-see for genre fans.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022

An average film undermined by its inability to see and answer the questions it raises.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 15, 2022

Writer-director Elle Callahan astutely lights a torch and holds up a mirror so audiences can check themselves -- is that a pitchfork in our hand?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 14, 2021

What it lacks in subtlety it makes up for with sheer discomfort. Witch Hunt loses steam over time, but it makes its point.

| Sep 28, 2021

Has a fascinating premise and tries to do a lot of things with it but the story is never really wholly convincing.

| Jul 1, 2021

All in all, this is a horror that's neither clever nor scary.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 28, 2021

Elle Callahan's Witch Hunt [is] the perfect example of an idea with no actual movie behind it.

I loved how, for as bleak as it was at times, it ended up being this lovely celebration of sisterhood and feminine energy that tips its hat to Thelma & Louise as well.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 24, 2021

While it falls short of the high expectations set in its first act, Witch Hunt remains a smart, memorable film with captivating performances from Adlon and Cowen.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 2, 2021

There's an array of solid political and social commentary in writer/director Elle Callahan's "Witch Hunt," but the muffled approach and inconsistent tone sour the overall vibe.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 28, 2021

Witch Hunt exists as a reminder of how genres can hasten their own overdone-ness by clinging to traditions they should have done away with long ago.

| Mar 26, 2021

Adds up to a film that doesn't quite capitalize on its full potential but offers a rewarding experience nonetheless.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Mar 25, 2021

Witch Hunt presents a heightened metaphor for how we become radicalized as teenagers, once the world opens up and we realize there are people suffering simply because of who they are.

| Mar 25, 2021

It starts out as an intriguing horror movie with timely allegories about immigrant controversies in the U.S., but then it monotonously slides into a disappointing hodgepodge of ideas ripped off from other movies.

| Mar 24, 2021

Witch Hunt is a spooky fantasy that teens and tweens cutting their teeth on horror are really going to enjoy.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Mar 22, 2021

While its visual elements lay the foundation of a typical horror-fantasy film, Witch Hunt's strong social message will resonate and terrify audiences more than its supernatural premise.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 22, 2021

Witch Hunt plays like a concept in search of a film.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 21, 2021

There's an allegory here for patriarchal fear of female power, but that potential gets lost amid inconsistency and appropriation.

| Mar 20, 2021

Witch Hunt works from the opening frame to the final credit fading out. It is a smartly written thriller that plays with serious issues that only have grown more troublesome over the last few years.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Mar 20, 2021
