In a modern America where witches are real and witchcraft is illegal, a sheltered teenager must face her own demons and prejudices as she helps two young witches avoid law enforcement and cross the southern border to asylum in Mexico.
“Witch Hunt 's smart social commentary is undercut by its lack of original storytelling ideas, but this supernatural horror outing has just enough bite to recommend for teens.”
All in all, this is a horror that's neither clever nor scary.

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

More a supernatural drama than horror, or even a thriller, "Witch Hunt" is in the end primarily an effective cautionary fable about intolerance, sweetened with genre elements.

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.
