Witching & Bitching is a 2013 Spanish horror-comedy film co-written and directed by Álex de la Iglesia. It stars Hugo Silva, Mario Casas and Carmen Maura. It won the most awards at the 28th Goya Awards with eight wins out of ten nominations.
When your marriage has you on the brink and your bank account in red, it's time to rob a Cash-for-Gold shop. That's the last-ditch decision made by a group of desperate guys led by divorced dad José. They make it out of the shop with a bag full of 25,000 gold wedding rings and flag down a cab. So do they run south to Morocco? Not easy getting through with a cab... Looks like it's north to France. The guys enter the impenetrable forests of Basque Country, home to ancient covens and witchery. They run head-on with a horde of crazed women who feed on human flesh. Trapped in a mysterious mansion, the witches try to seize the rings at all cost and to rip out our heroes' souls to boot.
***SPOILER ALERT***
This is how every movie should start. Loved the humor and the action, you will immediately recognize Álex de la Iglesia's style.
Some scenes seem that weren't taken too seriously, it feels like someone was in a hurry to finish the movie.
In the end, I felt glad about Iglesia's choices on the development of the supernatural creatures, I loved the witches. I'm hoping that a vampire movie comes soon from this fine director.
