Pyewacket (2018)

Thanks for the memories!

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Dont even know where to start but i can say the great reviews this one has received have to be 100% fake. One hundred percent. Else the reviewers watched another movie.It isnt even worth calling this a movie.Absolutely nothing happens for and hour and twenty some minutes.Story is bad, script is worse and acting is aweful.Just dont watch.

There is no plot, no point, no outcome and no justification for this being made at all. Absolutely awful.

I thought the beginning was more or less promising; I liked how the main character was already into the occult and it seemed like she knew what she was doing. However, the movie very quickly descended into your standard bunch of "am I going crazy or is something after me" horror cliches.The soundtrack and visual vibe was good, but as a whole the movie didn't impress me at all.

With its silly-sounding title* and ambiguous storyline, Pyewacket seems to be following in the footsteps of The Babadook (2014), a film that left the viewer unsure as to whether its horrors were real or a figment of the imagination.Pyewacket's protagonist is pretty teen Leah (Nicole Muñoz), who has developed an interest in the occult following the death of her father. When her mother (Laurie Holden) announces that they are moving to a new home, hours away from her friends and school, Leah is understandably upset.Shortly after moving home, Leah has a bitter argument with her mother and, in a rage, conducts a ritual to summon a supernatural creature to kill the poor woman. In the following days, Leah regrets her actions, but is it too late to stop the monster she has unleashed?Delivering no concrete evidence to support the idea that Pyewacket is anything but imaginary, a product of Leah's increasingly fragile mind, the film is more of a psychological drama than a horror, extremely slow-burn and devoid of scares or tension. Ultimately, the whole thing amounts to a drawn-out build-up topped off with a short, sharp, shocking payoff that is nasty, but not really worth the wait.*After doing a bit of research, I found that Pyewacket was actually one of the familiar spirits of a witch detected by Matthew Hopkins, the Witchfinder General, in 1644. It's still a silly name...
