Witch Hunt
In a world where magic is real puffy shirts and sequin pants are acceptable apparel.
Nevertheless, the 1950s detective in this fantasy-thriller plays to stereotype.
Set in an alternate reality where magic is an every day occurrence and horror movie monsters walk among us, an overzealous senator (Eric Bogosian) holds McCarthyesque trials on magic use in Hollywood.
While working on a case for the wife (Penelope Ann Miller) of a murdered movie mogul, magic abstaining private investigator Lovecraft (Denis Hopper) becomes embroiled in the senator's witch hunts when he employs a seerer for the case who is later sentenced to death by the commission.
Hardboiled scribe Paul Schrader's follow-up to HBO's Cast a Deadly Spell, this red scare allegory is a worthy successor to the 1991 made for cable movie, despite its recasting and altering of the main character's retcon.
Moreover, any attempt to use magic in the real world would be halted by J.K. Rowling's lawyers. Yellow Light
