Summary

In a pastel-drenched California town that casually leans into witchcraft, Elaine who’s glamorous, recently widowed, and dangerously committed to finding “true love” casts spell after spell to lure men into her intoxicating orbit. But when her lovers crumble under the weight of their own feelings (and her potions), things get... messy. Bodies are buried, husbands unravel, and a handsome detective gets tangled in her fantasy. It’s witchcraft meets romantic delusion, an absurd, hyper-feminine fever dream where love kills, literally.

Hot Take

This film feels like it was shot in the 1960s from the lush aesthetic to the transatlantic accents. You follow a witch determined to find love through sensual rituals and nude coven ceremonies, luring men in like a black widow before they meet their fate. Its eroticism comes through in seductive spell work, stylized sex scenes, and its bold celebration of female desire. Gorgeous, cheeky, and a little dangerous — its art-house meets erotic camp.
