WITCHES OF BUSHWICK is inspired by #WitchesofInstagram one of social media's darker and most trending sub-cultures. The film talks about the people behind the hashtag, blending horror and satire to produce a biting critique of social media. The short film centers around a young woman who is about to be initiated into a modern coven. When things - inevitably - start to go wrong, however, the witchy influencers find that they are no match for the actual supernatural.
I just watched this as a part of the Shockfest film festival, and I was blown away by the production value. Living in the Witch City (Salem, MA) I had to check it out based on the title, but was immediately hooked. The actresses were charismatic, the story was interesting, and the cinematography was fantastic. It was like watching a stripped down horror feature, but keeping the good stuff and getting rid of the fluff. The idea of "real" versus "fake" witches is a source of fascination for me personally, but I'd recommend this to anyone interested in supernatural horror. Really impressive and looking forward to seeing more from this team.
