Dead Hot: Season of the Witch

  • Title: Dead Hot: Season of the Witch

The unscripted drama Dead Hot: Season of the Witch follows Vanessa Hudgens and Georgia Magree on their journey into the mystical involving learning more about ghosts and witchcraft. While you can tell the subject is important to both Hudgens and her real-life friend, the results are mixed. In the end you can’t help but wonder if a bit more scripting or a more traditional documentary style would have served the pair better in the personal interests they want to explore.

Asking for It

  • Title: Asking for It
  • IMDb: link

The first feature from writer/director Eamon O’Rourke has some interesting ideas and a solid enough cast to explore them. Sadly, Asking for It never quite figures out what it wants to be or how to get there. While there are flashes of a revenge story following the previously-cheery Joey (Kiersey Clemons) joining a group of militant women (Alexandra Shipp, Vanessa Hudgens, Leslie Stratton, Radha Mitchell, Leyna Bloom, and Lisa Yaro) on an Indian reservation after being date raped by a longtime acquaintance (Casey Cott), Asking for It isn’t a revenge story. It also isn’t a character study or drama. It’s easy to focus on what the film isn’t, but much harder to nail down what Asking for It is.
