This is a 2021 film directed by Elle Callahan and starring Elizabeth Mitchell, Christian Camargo and Abigail Cohen. It's a gothic urban- fantasy set in a parallel modern era when witchcraft is illegal. Witches are hunted then executed. Two sisters remember their mother getting burned alive at the stake for witchcraft. Society itself is based on targeting witches, by examining women for the so-called witch's marks. Girls are tested with ducking stools. Two young sisters are living in fear, but given sanctuary in a house owned by single mother and her three children. There are nosy neighbours lurking around, and the infamous witch finder that uses a magical compass to hunt witches. This is a political and feminist film that overdoes it a bit too much. Cringe in places. OMG moments.
Rating: 5/10
Warning: Red heads be warned.
Howls ^^
