Almost there. I love a good scare. This one was a great concept. Missed the mark with no real character development. No build up. Needed to be drawn out .. more tense. enjoyed with the 14 year old teenagers that I watched with but for me .. i wanted to be scared but it never happened. 20% more and it would have been great.
Besides a couple inconsistencies in the story, just little things that made no sense, The Wretched is an entertaining movie in the "witch" genre. It isn't the best movie I ever watched in this genre but it's certainly worth a watch. The horror parts are well made and pretty decent in the "gore" genre. The acting was most of the time good, nothing to really complain about. That said it could all have been better but still there are a couple good creepy parts that will keep you attentive, and in a horror movie that's a bonus.
This movie is actually pretty good, unlike some of the other no-name horror movies popping up around the same time (1BR, The Lodge, The other lamb). This one is hardly original, but it's got a lot of throwbacks - 80's vibe, and is Well shot with above par FX, And convincing no-name actors). It's got it's own, not always welcoming, twist ending, which worked in this case for the better. It's really a pretty decent horror/comedy flick that doesn't take itself too seriously, looks good on screen, and keeps your attention throughout. I enjoyed it.
I really like this movie its very well made the gore everything the witch is very mean and spares no one.
The effects where also very good. There is a lot of horror movies being made theses days and to be honest 99% are really bad but this one was a great surprise and stands out from the pack.

Brilliant and well done horror. Amazing, considering the budget, don't let this put you off though, the quality and story were amazing.
Due to the pandemic, crap movies seem to be on the loose, this movie definitely doesn't fall into that category. It was refreshing.

- TriviaTechnically this was the #1 theatrical film in North America for five weeks in May 2020, though this was by virtue of being one of the only films playing, as most theaters were closed and most films were out of circulation due to the coronavirus pandemic.
- GoofsDuring the dinner at the start of the film the Connect 4 grid changes between Ben lines. Although one might think this is actually because Nathan was playing the game, which isn't revealed until later, the change in disks is the red disks and Ben was playing red. Nathan was playing yellow.
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits, several of the A letters are upside down.
