      Audience Member This is the worst acting ever with fucking perverts in the movie not to mention the director is pervert showing the ass of what looks like a 12 year old girl and a slutty thong this whole movie was fucking disgusting Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member totally awe catching Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A disaster from start to finish. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Another one to add to the "so-bad-it's-good" category. But actually this is not something I would recommend anyone seeing unless you enjoy these B-grade movies for laughs and the occasional eye candy which is partially what saves this entirely messed up story. Disturbingly enough, this is based on a true story and was somehow allowed to be made into a movie. This also makes me wonder how the director got away with making this film the way he did in certain ways that, I'd rather just leave out here. This also happens to be Brittany Murphy's last film that was made and not released back in 2009 or around that year for various reasons that are obvious when watching this. I believe the producers waited so long to release it cause it honestly brings a lot of shame to Murphy's grave, and I'm amazed it was released at all. You will likely have much shame if you do watch this and likely want to throw inanimate objects at the screen once the credits start to roll. You have been warned. Aside from all this, it's actually something I could watch over and over again for laughs and amusement, hence my 4 star rating here which is likely the best review this movie will ever have. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member "Something Wicked" is the equivalent of a Lifetime movie if production and the budget were taken one step further....... one or two good twists and a big lie by omission fuel this suspense thriller...a cast who are invested in their characters lends a level of quality to a film that successfully rises above what could have been just another direct-to-DVD casualty..... it acts as an acceptable tribute to the late Brittany Murphy, who turns out a fine performance in her last role.... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Arc Entertainment serves up another slice of thrills and chills with the suspense thriller "Something Wicked." Touted as Brittany Murphy's last performance, it delivers through deliberate psychological missteps and a lingering dark sense of dread that leaves the viewer wondering if all is what it seems. Although it's not quite up to par with most theatrical releases, it deserves a status a few notches above the Lifetime and TV-movies category it will no doubt be lumped into. In "Something Wicked," a young couple makes their wedding plans shortly after the death of the bride's parents in a tragic car collision with a train. As they settle into married life, gruesome secrets from their past collide with the present. "Something Wicked" achieves what all movies should aim for. It gives audiences a distraction from real life for over ninety minutes through a series of ups and downs and loops and sharp turns that any fan of suspense thrillers will enjoy. I had my suspicions of what might happen in the end, but it didn't affect the level of entertainment I experienced along the journey. "Something Wicked" is rated R for violence, sexuality, and language. Although there are a few sensual moments that get a little steamier than what we see in made-for-TV movies, that's really the only thing that would push this into R-rated territory. Things never go overboard in the areas of violence and gore. Brittany Murphy shows great emotional depth as the tortured sister-in-law of the lead character. She switches from grounded psychologist to a helpless, crazed, and empathetic shell with the sense of professionalism you would only hope for in a much more seasoned actor. I don't know whether it was for the role or not, but her greasy slick-backed hair and pale features matched her character's agonized and mentally drained personality. "Something Wicked" is the equivalent of a Lifetime movie if production and the budget were taken one step further. One or two good twists and a big lie by omission fuel this suspense thriller. A cast who are invested in their characters lends a level of quality to a film that successfully rises above what could have been just another direct-to-DVD casualty. It acts as an acceptable tribute to the late Brittany Murphy, who turns out a fine performance in her last role. www.ersink.com Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Zena Dixon Real Queen of Horror I found myself guessing until the very end. Rated: 3/5 Aug 27, 2018 Full Review Matt Donato We Got This Covered Something Wicked is just another romantic thriller that's derailed by obvious plot turns and a crazy notion that murder and love go hand in hand.
