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.

Terrible camerawork, story was interesting, execution was shoddy. There was very little left to enjoy by the end...stop shaking the damn camera
Pretty solid movie, I really enjoyed this one!
I know 'slow paced' gets tossed around more and more frequently, but this is seriously a slow burn, but enjoyable. Think of those pics floating around social media that say "this picture gets creepier the more you stare at it?...this is basically the film version of that.
Eh. Teenage angst newts ritual.
Worth one watch.
