The insanity of Alex de la Iglesia’s horror-comedy WITCHING AND BITCHING pretty much speaks for itself, something we quickly found out when its first trailer hit last year. After making the festival rounds and seeing it hit limited theaters as well as VOD platforms, IFC is finally dishing out Iglesia’s clownshit insane film about a couple of dudes who find themselves the honored guests of witches who are preparing for an ancient ritual to home video. WITCHING AND BITCHING will hit shelves on October 14th, just in time for Halloween.
Here's what this one is about:
When a bank heist in the city doesn’t all go according to plan, José and Tony find themselves in possession of some hostages and speeding through the mountains of Spain, hoping to quietly slip over the border. Not wanting to give up his custody days to his ex-wife, José has also brought his son along, for both the robbery and the ride. Little do they know that this is only the beginning of their troubles. When they decide to make a stop in a small tavern in the Basque countryside, the group encounters a series of local wackos. Falling victim to a mysterious spell, they soon find themselves the honored guests of a fractured family of witches who are preparing for an ancient ritual. More colorful characters begin to enter the picture, including a pair of hapless cops hot on the trail, a defecting vixen witch and José’s controlling ex-wife, and the situation spirals further out of control, heading towards a jaw-dropping climax.
WITCHING AND BITCHING stars Mario Casas, Hugo Silva, Carmen Maura, Terele Pavez, Carolina Bang, Secun de la Rosa, Pepon Nieto and Jaime Ordonez.
