Witch Hunt is set in an alternative modern day USA in which witches are hunted, tried and executed. A teenage girl and her mother in Southern California help accused women find safety but their lives change for good when the daughter is charged with being a witch. This is an interesting idea and makes a change to the slew of modern zombie, vampire and slasher movies, sadly the reason for this draconian and horrific state of affairs is not explained. This is a fairly mild horror movie, perhaps supernatural fantasy or thriller would best describe it. I would say that the target audience is teenage girls and female twenty somethings but as a middle aged man I found this to be a reasonable time filler. The acting is OK but the CGI effects look quite cheap, there are some incredibly generous reviews on here, take these with a pinch of salt! One of the most memorable scenes has girls being ducked by witch finders in a school swimming pool, fair play to the makers to come up with that!
