Each October, the Unsung Horrors podcast does a month of themed movies. This year they will once again be setting up a fundraiser to benefit Best Friends, which is working to save the lives of cats and dogs all across America, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

Today’s theme: Witches

Directed by Álex de la Iglesia (Perdita Durango, El día de la bestia), who co-wrote the script with Jorge Guerricaechevarría, Witching and Bitching starts with José (Hugo Silva) and Antonio (Mario Casas) arguing as they rob a pawn shop. The issue is that José has brought his son Sergio (Gabriel Ángel Delgado) along for the ride and it’s a violent one, as numerous people die all around them. They escape in the car of Manuel (Jaime Ordóñez), forcing him to drive them to the border, all while being followed by Silvia (Macarena Gómez), Sergio’s mother, and two cops named Pacheco (Secun de la Rosa) and Calvo (Pepón Nieto).

They end up in Zugarramurdi, Navarre, a place where alleged occult activity happened in the seventeenth century and was punished in the Basque witch trials, as well as the home of the Basque witch museum and the Witch Caves. There they meet a coven of cannibal witches and their leader Graciana (Carmen Maura) and her mother Maritxu (Terele Pávez). After Sergio is nearly cooked in an oven, they escape, only to quickly be recaptured by the witches.

Silvia and the two cops save José, Antonio,and Manuel but are soon captured, with Silvia is transformed into a witch by toad juice. Our protagonists are captured — again! — and only José escapes, saved by Graciana’s daughter Eva (Carolina Bang) who has fallen for him. She wants him to leave but he refuses as his son is still captured. Eva is buried alive by her mother, but soon saved by José who gets help from Eva’s brother Luismi (Javier Botet).

Luismi and José can only watch as Antonio, Manuel, Pacheco and Calvo are set to be sacrificed to a gigantic witch that eats Sergio — who passes right out of its body and is showing his own magic powers — and then destroy the creature and most of the witches. However, as José and Eva celebrate their love, we learn that Silvia, Graciana and Maritxu are waiting for their revenge.

Look, any movie that starts with statues — including Jesus — coming to life and starting a robbery and ends with a witch apocalypse is one I’m going to love. As always, de Iglesia takes you on a thrill ride filled with violence, lurid colors and fun effects. I’m there for whatever movies he makes.
