Hood Witch is a 2023 occult horror movie about a smuggler whose mobile app connecting users to mystical healers backfires when a deadly consultation unleashes terrifying supernatural consequences.
Synopsis: Nour, a resourceful single mother, survives by smuggling exotic animals and illicit goods – birds of prey, venom, rare roots, and more. Desperate to secure a better future for her son, she reinvents herself, creating a mobile app that discreetly connects clients with marabouts. The platform thrives, promising a way out of the city’s ruthless underworld. However, when a routine consultation spirals into disaster, Nour finds herself at the center of a storm. A violent backlash erupts, drawing dangerous forces to her doorstep. As threats close in, she must navigate a world where the line between the mystical and the merciless blurs. With her son’s life hanging in the balance, Nour is forced to confront the deadly consequences of her ambition – before the past she tried to escape consumes them both.
