Fresh off directing Head Count, released by Samuel Goldwyn Films earlier this month, Deadline reports today that Elle Callahan will soon return with a brand new film, Witch Hunt.
The supernatural thriller is set “In a modern America where witches are real and witchcraft is illegal, Witch Hunt follows Claire (Gideon Adlon), who must face her own demons and prejudices as she helps two young witches elude authorities to seek asylum in Mexico.”
“I’ve always been a fan of genre films for their ability to get people to think differently and with new perspectives,” Callahan told Deadline. “For me, Witch Hunt is an opportunity to turn the camera back on ourselves and show what’s possible in a society where irrational fears take favor over common decency.”
Abigail Cowen (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost), and Christian Camargo (The Hurt Locker) also star.
