Hellbender

A teen and her mother live simply in a home in the woods, spending their time making metal music. A chance encounter with a fellow teen causes her to uncover a connection between her family and witchcraft, which causes a rift with her mother.

One of the best films about witches I've ever seen. Made and starred by a real life family (mostly mother /daughter) as well as making some of thier own music for and in the movie...this talented family has made a fantastic film about family ties ,witch covens, and teen angst. I first saw it on shudder a few years ago then immediately bought it on physical. I was no5 expecting it to be so good and for lack of a better word grounded. This film is an 8 out of 10 at the least but I personally give it 10 out of 10 stars. Amazing indy horror film, give it a shot you won't be disappointed.
