“Witch Hunt” (** out of four) was witch hokum set in a parallel time universe in which witches are all real and witchcraft is illegal; a sheltered teenager (Gideon Adlon) must make the different decision on whether to help two young witches (Abigail Cohen and Echo Campbell) and help them seek refuge and asylum in Mexico but has to make sure she is not tempted herself to convert to witchcraft. Elegantly made and told by writer/director Elle Callahan but her own absurd story causes it to sink under its own weight. Watch “The Witches” again instead.
