A modern witch hunt whose protagonist is an oriental healer who is actually a charlatan sponging off of the suffering people who trust her, only to become a victim of mob hysteria arising from prejudices and slander, which have devastating consequences for her. Set in a big city, Hood Witch is a realistic drama about the ruinous impacts of the actions resulting from religious conviction, in which the protagonist’s fight for survival becomes a fight to save her son. The film succeeds in eliciting compassion for the protagonist even though it depicts her in anything but a positive light at the beginning. It also offers well-written characters, powerful situations, a lot of exotic animals and one scene whose unpleasantness will make your toes curl.
