Hellbender (2021, dir. Toby Poser, Zelda Adams & John Adams [AKA The Adams Family])

An isolated rural home-schooled teen discovers she is from a line of witches. Smart, austere Catskills-set horror that looks good, is well-contained, and riffs engagingly on Carrie in doing so. An impressive, minimalist feature: recommended.

Here’s the trailer.
