Wild Eyed and Wicked

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.

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.

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.

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.
