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.

Oh Man!! It was a close one folks. . . It was a good solid movie, a bit drama/horror, I love a slow realistic build up for rituals, scene to scene I was waiting for the witch to jump! Really cool subtle stuff, camera shots, conversations and acting were convincing, fast-paced mother/daughter verbal battle relationship. In the end though, they decided to cheap us with the creature, I felt like they were going to do that, some metaphors here and there. Also take a look at the split milk! OOH SCARY!
SUCKED
I like slow burns. But the choices at the end didn’t add up. She had reason to do it maybe 20 minutes before the end, but 10 minutes to the end, new info changed all that. Good enough story, but had the potential to be a LOT better
This movie just dragged on and on and on for me to a shitty end.
Solid B+
