Wild Eyed and Wicked

A very strange film for sure. How would I describe it?

Part ghost story, part LBGTQIA story, part dungeons and dragons. I think that's got the main points down.

None of it made any sense. There were some good scenes at least. Those were the creepy ones. The lesbian relationship bit had no bearing on the rest of the story.

The main character was horribly written being the most unsympathetic protagonist I have ever seen in a motion picture. She is bratty, spoilt, ungrateful and generally unhappy with everyone.

Thankfully it's a tiny budget, so at least it won't be disappointing its bank manager too much. In short, avoid.

I don't understand all the hate. No this isn't a super blockbuster horror movie with a huge budget. It's a slow build movie. I like the main character Lilly. She's complex & real. Of course she's pissed. Her dad was an absent father fighting his own battles. We slowly learn the reasons for their estrangement. If you want blood, gore and guts this isn't the movie for you. If you want a movie that makes you think and feel this is for you.

I think the production value is good. The scenery is beautiful. I enjoyed the way things were shot especially in the wooded scenes. The tension build was suspenseful.

The acting was good. I felt the chemistry between Lilly & Willow. As a lesbian myself I liked how the lesbian relationship wasn't a huge focus of the film. It was just part of who Lilly is.

Give this film a chance. In my opinion you won't regret it.

I was waiting for this movie. I was let down by my expectations.

The premise was good. It could've been a very great movie but instead it was not. Letterbox films are supposed to add more of the scenery into the frame to add to the storytelling, but in this "masterpiece" the letterbox is focused on heads...not full heads but half heads. Most of the film doesn't even incorporate bodies or rooms into the letterbox frame.

I despise found footage find but I believe I would've prefer that to this "new" style of filming talking heads.

I didn't find the last scenes to be too dark, but my tv is set in dynamic, maybe the other reviewer needs to check their tv settings.

This was not a keeper for me. The acting was good. The writing was decent...it was the cameraman/director that ruined this film.

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.

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.
