Pyewacket
Directed by Adam MacDonald
A brilliant, brooding and flat-out frightening supernatural chiller from the producers of modern horror classics The Witch and The Void, featuring The Walking Dead’s Laurie Holden. After her father dies, teenager Leah is forced, by her unstable mother, to leave her friends behind and move to a house in the woods. Feeling isolated and hopeless, Leah turns to Black Magic to release her anger. She naively performs an occult ritual found in a book on her bedroom shelf to invoke the spirit of a witch to kill her mother. Terrified by strange occurrences, and stricken by guilt, Leah desperately tries to reverse the spell, but soon realizes she has awoken something in the woods... and nothing can prepare her for the terror that has been unleashed.

Totally botched the third act. They needed to sell the mom being the demon all the way through. Instead they made it as obvious as possible it was her real mom, from telegraphing the attic jump scare, to the body in the woods while the actual mom was yelling, from changing her back into normal clothes and normal complexion. Then they do a big shocking “reveal” that she killed her mom, but everyone already knew. Waste of a great setup.
Good watch, watch what you wish for.
It’s good
Very meh. The main character’s actress wasn’t convincing in a lot of scenes, and there’s SO MUCH unnecessary shaky cam, and I mean SO MUCH. It’s not even done well, it really looks like someone is shaking the camera as wildly as possible, sometimes at points where it doesn’t even make sense. I was spooked maybe twice in the 80 minutes it took to watch. The only thing I liked in this movie was the ending.
Great move bruh
