Wild Eyed and Wicked

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.

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 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!

Lily Pierce (Molly Kunz) is haunted her childhood memory of witnessing her mother's brutal suicide. She has a caring girlfriend despite her volatile episodes with her supernatural visions. She is called to visit her father who is living alone on the family farm.

This is a functional spooky horror for awhile. When she puts on the armor, I can't help but snicker at it. It feels silly. I'm willing to accept the premise, but something about it feels a little amateurish and LARP. Maybe she could buy the armor from an antique store and adapt it. Also, forget about the gun. The excuse is just an excuse and I don't buy it. The acting is fine. The budget restraints the story and the filmmaking. In the end, I can't shake the silly feeling.

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.
