Claudio C Pyewacket (2017) Be Careful What You Wish For, Someone Might Be Listening (11,848 – 12 Apr 2018 / 23 Jul 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) The teenager Leah (Nicole Muñoz) lives with her mother Mrs. Reyes (Laurie Holden), who misses her deceased husband. Leah likes occultism and spends her leisure time with her boyfriend Aaron (Eric Osborne) and her friends Janice (Chloe Rose) and Rob (Romeo Carere). Mrs. Reyes decides to sell her house and move to another one in the woods to restart her life. Leah has an argument with her mother since her boyfriend and friends will be left behind and summons the evil spirit Pyewacket through a ritual in the forest to kill her mother. During the night, Leah overhears strange noises at home. She regrets but her mentor, the writer Rowan Dove (James McGowan), advises that the evil spirit Pyewacket is a trickster and will try to lure her. Further, she needs to perform the ritual backwards to get rid of Pyewacket. "Pyewacket" (2017) is a scary low-budget horror film developed in slow pace with a story that builds tension with the climax in the ending. The characters are well developed but Janice vanishes, and the viewer never knows what she experienced at Leah´s home. The plot is ambiguous since only Leah hears and sees Pyewacket. It is great also to see Laurie "Andrea" Holden again after "The Walking Dead". The conclusion is excellent and worth the film. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): Not Available.

And the movie just ends without explanation as to why she whacked her mom, why she didn’t finish completing the ritual in the woods when she already started and was half way to ending the whole thing, total bummer let down for me. A bit better writing and this could have been great Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Cameron M It's fine, I wished it was more. Technically proficient, emphasizing the atmosphere of a scene, but lacking substance in the narrative. After the halfway point it's used up it's whole bag of tricks and we just watch the telegraphed ending unfold without seeing any new ingredients added to the mix. This film really needed a good solid twist to tie the whole thing together, but what comes instead will illicit more of a sigh than a gasp. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Anthony S I love slow burn horrors as long as the ending is worth it, but this one...man it never got there, it didn't even try. It's just a movie about an emo girl and her evil shadow. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Daddy D This movie was very uninspired. Lots of common horror themes that have already been done very well, this movie felt like a retelling of twenty movies I've already seen. "Pyewacket" was clearly a made for TV film, with pretty predictable acting from the two main characters (who worked on The Walking Dead) that the director (who worked on The Walking Dead) seemingly, intentionally put into this film. Pretty much a total waste of time, don't bother. Go watch one of the many films that inspired this Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Craig B Pyewack is a decent horror movie. The film’s strength really comes from the solid performances of the two main leads, Laurie Holden and Nicole Munoz. It’s not too long, slowly builds the tension and certainly gets to the pointy end pretty quickly, whilst doing enough to set up some necessary background for the characters. You will certainly still be wondering what really happened as the end crawl credits come up. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
