The Book of the Witch

The Book of The Witch bookends an exponentially impressive catalogue from up-and-coming director, Joshua Sowden.

This is true, independent horror on a budget.

Included captivating visuals and set designs, poignant performances, and creative twists. Simple yet important ingredients to make a meaningful film.

Krishna Smitha, who plays the lead Victoria, carries the charismatic cast in this film with daunting doe eyes and a veteran touch. While the supporting cast behind her filled their roles respectfully, it's Smitha who chews the loudest when she's on-camera.

Victoria is a strong, emboldened female lead and stops at nothing while on a mission to steal and use a Witch's book which grants eternal life. Paired with co-worker August, brought to life by Danny Parker-Lopes, the two help each other find the book and chaos ensues, and boils to a toil-and-troublesome conclusion.
