In this week’s episode of Broomsticks and Bloodshed, Cory and Rossa take a deep dive into Hellbender (2021), a haunting indie gem that fuses coming-of-age horror with raw witchcraft energy. We break down the film’s eerie atmosphere, its unique take on power, isolation, and inheritance, and how its magic compares to real-world witchcraft practices. From blood soaked rites to psychedelic visions, we explore what makes Hellbender a standout in the modern witch/horror canon.
