Fortuna

About This Movie

Fortuna has this haunting quality that lingers with you. It’s the second entry in The Blood of the Witch Trilogy, and it dives deeper into themes of grief and longing. Abby Thelma’s journey to connect with her deceased father through séances introduces an eerie atmosphere, punctuated by the presence of gypsies and dark magic. The practical effects are commendable, creating unsettling visuals that enhance the horror element without over-relying on CGI. The pacing can feel methodical, allowing the tension to build slowly, which I appreciate. Performances are solid, particularly the lead, as she navigates the depths of her desire and the consequences that come with it. Distinctive in its approach to witchcraft and family ties, it certainly leaves an impression.
