Wild Eyed and Wicked

You should watch this movie if you're exhausted and ready to go to bed. It won't take long until you fall asleep. It is not my intention to review this kind of film. Since the movies must, at the very least, provide some compelling reasons to be seen. Horror movie "Wild Eyes and Wicked" is one of the nastiest ones. Poor screenplay and plot. Cinematography is a total failure. You won't see anything in the movie's climax other than darkness if you watch it. Silent, lonely things. In my opinion, the filmmaker fails to portray the true situation and the script's logic, and the performers in the parts are oblivious to what is actually going on in the plot.

I'm not entirely sure what in the world was going on here. Apparently a young lesbian must go to the countryside and wear her mother's armor and fight off some sort of demon thing that's cursed her family for generations. Or maybe not. I'm not sure how said armor remained unrusted sitting in a box in a basement for 20 years, unoiled and unpolished, but nevermind that. I like the idea of someone pulling the St George routine in our modern era, and there was a lot that could have been done with this story had a better director and writer been in charge - maybe explore the family history, or better define what the monster-thing is. The acting could have been worse tbh, so there's that. But the whole story starts slow then slows down more and finally comes to a shuddering halt, all while accompanied by some of the worst cinematic music I've heard since the '80s. I rented this for $6 from Amazon Prime, and I feel like I should get at least $5 back. I really wouldn't waste either the time or money on this film if I were you.

OMG how does this dog shizzle even get made, doesn't anyone realise it's garbage before it's completed?

This time we have the most unlikable, boring characters combined with a script that feels like it was written by AI that was machine learned exclusively on high school written fiction.

I even thought the title to this movie was stupid but dived in hoping that was an oversight. My title for this would be Bordelina, Princess of Sleep.

I guess this is filler for a streaming service or content to supply a sleep therapy center. Whoever made this should consider working in another industry, this is so bad.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. The story was pretty intriguing, and it definitely has some good jump scare moments. The acting, especially the lead was good.

All this is taking in to account that there are no big budgets, studios or actors on this project.

With those considerations it really pushes this much higher than the ratings I am seeing on here. I would honestly love to see any of these commenters do something better with the same budget.

It might not compete with big budget movies, but I think the cast and crew should be proud of what they put together.

If you keep these considerations in mind, I think you will enjoy this movie!

This film was written, directed and filmed by the same person whose family owns the property on which it is filmed. It's a passion project and I'm sure it's meaningful to him, his wife who is apparently a part of this film and whom part of the story resembles, and is best left in their living room. There is no reason to care about any of the characters and you don't. The dialogue is clunky. The lead actress is the only one who can act and I have to wonder what brought her to star in this film, perhaps some connection with the director.

In short, young woman suffers from nightmares of seeing her mother, with scratches on her face, kill herself in the woods. Why? Don't know. But she's a fencing instructor, always had a fascination with the knights and a story mom tells, and has a lesbian relationship with a girl in the movie who has little acting skills but is probably stunted by the mindless dialogue. It feels like it was inserted to have an LGBTQ character to have enought screen time to have no purpose other than to remind you the film has significant LGBTQ presence.

Girl must go back home to see Dad who is cleaning up stuff after mom's death. A stilted dialogue about a challenging relationship with Daddy and question the entire first 70 minutes of the film - are girl's visions of a monster following her in life and in her dreams real. It relates to her mother possibly also being a demon. Now you'll sit and watch this story do nothing but explore lesbian and daddy relationships until the very end when that question is answered in a very laughable ending that reminded me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. When other said it's plodding is an understatement, they meant it. And the decent reviews by the few indie reviewers... well... we should know better than to take them seriously. It's a wealthy film school graduate's passion project. Good for him to make a full feature film. While the camera work isn't bad, almost everything else is sadly not worth watching for the rest of us.
