This is a story about a girl's self-discovery in a world where witches are common place. It's a drama-driven piece that reminds me of the mutant struggle that takes place in the world of the X-men except this is done in a more intimate manner. There are no flashy super-powered beings that are well-organized and fighting back. The production team did an excellent job of making this film feel real-world. There is true evil in the name of 'the law', true prejudices instilled into the population, true fear and that sense of helplessness that comes from being victimized by your own country. The acting throughout the film was superb. The storyline draws you in and keeps you engaged as a good drama does. There are also some minor scares that are incorporated nicely into the story. A shame that such a well-written film is received so poorly here (4.5 rating, 29dec2021, 618 votes).

The most dramatic part of this whole movie was the music! Infact the music was dramatic even when there was nothing happening! Which was 90% of the time! The so called story had zero depth to it and did not progress into anything it was blander than vanilla! I don't know about the title as the only Hunt I was on was for an actual story! Lame is my choice of word to describe this movie!

The trailer looked promising however I gave up after about 45 minutes. I liked the premise of the film, however there is no explanation of how a death squad was hunting the witches and how they are relevant in modern society. The pacing was also terribly slow, which didn't help at all. Overall had potential but poorly executed.

This movie is very scary, but the witches have nothing to do with it. An excellent companion to The Conjuring-- watch one and watch the other for a fascinating conversation.

I was liking this movie and was about to rate as a 6 then the ending sucked so bad. I hate when movies end making you try to figure out how it ends. :(

I really liked this movie. It's a nice commentary on how women are treated in America by the patriarchy. Especially when those women have power. More drama than horror. But very interesting. Very enjoyable.
