The Wretched

The movie is simple keeping horror basics with jump scares and witch tale. The story is good. Though the movie is predictable still it doesn't disappoint. The horror is mild and could have made more scary if attempted rightly.

Fun ride a couple good scares. Mostly I loved the script. Good Writing. Good story. Couple twist and turns I didn't see coming and I watch a lot of horror. Definitely one to check out.

This is a fairly run-of-the-mill Goosebumps-style story. A fair assessment would be Fright Night mixed with Friedkin's The Guardian and a bit of Rear Window. The plot is not revolutionary by any means but there are some surprises including a nifty twist at the end involving one of the horror cliches that the film uses repeatedly to signify the presence of evil. It doesn't look cheap or filmed by amateurs. So it does have some production values like proper cinematography, music and effects. The experienced cast is good for what the film is. There is an attempted extended metaphor involving how divorce can affect children. I am not sure it is too clear or even works. But it is something to think about. Overall, it is not mind-numbingly bad or insulting. It worked for me.

Almost there. I love a good scare. This one was a great concept. Missed the mark with no real character development. No build up. Needed to be drawn out .. more tense. enjoyed with the 14 year old teenagers that I watched with but for me .. i wanted to be scared but it never happened. 20% more and it would have been great.

Slow, I had to fast forward several times. They acted wooden and didn't engage with anyone. The creature effects total maybe 30 seconds divided into 5 second moments throughout the overlong run time. There is nothing new here, and as usual, with so much horror today, the ending is a scapegoat.
