Wake of the Red Witch Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
July 4, 2025
“Wake of the Red Witch” casts John Wayne as a brooding, haunted sea captain driven by loss and revenge. Told mainly in flashback, the narrative can feel disjointed, but its emotional undercurrents run deep. Rather than offering high-seas adventure, the film leans into a slower, more reflective tone. Love, betrayal, and vengeance ebb and flow throughout, a melodrama that favors stormy emotions over swashbuckling action.
