Mother and son who smuggle exotic animals end up in deep trouble and on the run.
This a tense little thriller that score points by not being like most other films out there. Set in a world most films never show us this is a place where everyone is connected by technology and where old beliefs still hold sway. Personal feelings and petty jealousy trump rational thought, and the result is a film where the mood is off. We aren't in Hollywood or even in the world of many European filmmakers but something made from a different point of view. The result is a film that grabs us and pulls us into a vice grip hold.
I loved this film. I loved that it didn't behave like anything that I've seen recently. Its a film that breaths and is alive and isn't a carbon copy of everything else.
I know this isn't a deep and detailed review, and I'm sorry about that, but the truth is that HOOD WITCH deserves to be seen on t's own terms and taken for what it is. I did not have any real idea of what the film was about and I think that helped the film feeling special. From the opening moments when the mother and son went through customs I realized I had no idea where this was going to go and it was a feeling that made me love the film more. It's something I want tou to feel so all I'm going to say is - if you hate the typical mainstream movies- see HOOD WITCH to have atrip to somewhere else.
