catherine T Good movie, I didn’t expect much, but in the end, the film surprised me at least three times in a good sense... I would have liked them to develop more about the character of the 'monster' I don’t think she was a witch, in short the movie is well-standing and is pleasant to listen to throughout. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/09/25 Full Review Melissa L I thought this movie was pretty well-made for a low budget film. The plot was interesting, and the characters well-developed. The ending was good but open-ended. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/25 Full Review Gabriel S The Wretched is a low-budget supernatural horror flick by the Pierce brothers that delivers a surprisingly positive punch. Mixing teen horror with folklore, its story might seem a bit too modest at depicting typical adolescent behavior standards, but it’s also intriguing and dark—a tasty blend for horror fans. The story follows Ben, a mildly out-of-place teenager trying to process his parents’ separation in a natural way while settling into his new home with his dad in a coastal town. But things start to lean toward the absurd when he suspects something’s off with the neighbors. Throughout the film, Ben is the kind of protagonist you genuinely want to follow. He’s smart, he’s brave, he’s awkward and lonely, he’s got problems—and he’s going to overcome them. A protagonist written right. To thicken the stew of this well-done character development, the plot is a pleasure to follow: gripping and creepy. It’s not terrifying, but it’s definitely tense. And the story beats are effective and support what’s unfolding. When the climax hits, we’re desperate to know how Ben’s going to get out of the mess he’s landed in. That’s when a few minor missteps happen—like the dog-based deus ex machina, or how so many people end up subverted so quickly—but hey, overlook those and The Wretched delivers what it promises: a young adult horror movie with touches of folklore and mystery. A solid pick to wrap up a boring Sunday.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/13/25 Full Review Stoner J Great horror thriller. It’s Disturbia and Fright Night, butt instead of a serial killer or vampire living next door, it’s a witch! Good one Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/25 Full Review Dave C Mediocre on every level, with Americanised drama and poor suspense. Mostly predictable Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews
