Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle A lot of great ideas, but the storytelling needed some fine-tuning. Mar 17, 2024 Full Review Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee Hood Witch is a striking film using themes of mysticism, feminism, and cultural divides to deliver a twenty-first-century witch hunt. Rated: 8/10 Apr 6, 2024 Full Review Matt Donato Collider Hood Witch's modern recreation of witch trials through social media is an exceptional concept, but proves less and less poignant as scenes bleed into an exhausting marathon with wobbly legs. Rated: 6/10 Mar 17, 2024 Full Review J Hurtado ScreenAnarchy A survival thriller set in a rarely explored world is a welcome addition to 2024’s genre film repertoire, and Belktibia’s voice is one that I cannot wait to hear more of.
