Witch Hunt
- Synopsis
- Feature film made for cable. A surreal thriller set in a nostalgic world where magic is integrated into everyday life. Using a fantastical narrative to satirise the McCarthy era of the 1950s, Private Investigator H.P. Lovecraft (Hopper) is pitched against a scheming politician (Bogosian) who wishes to rid Hollywood of its glamour. In one scene Shakespeare is resurrected to re-write a Hollywood blockbuster.
