The Wicked

Holy mother of God, what did I just spend an hour and forty minutes watching?! One of the worst movies I have ever watched without a doubt! The acting was horrible, the story was horrible, the writing worse than both put together. I checked out the movie because it had a 9.2 rating from 11 users and I'm like "Okay, the movie's new, must be good if people like it" ... boy oh boy was I wrong.

If you really want to watch it, watch it really drunk and we a couple of your close friends, it will be more fun. You won't notice the holes in the story, you won't notice the bad acting and many other really really horrible things. It wasn't frightening it was just ... dumb for the most part.

If you are looking for something to give you the hibbie jibbies this is not it. Go find something else. Seriously.

As a supposed horror/thriller, this movie failed spectacularly in almost every possible parameter of genre film making. Voting seems to have been disabled on this title so I embarked on the viewing with merely the hope (foolish as it now turns out) that it might offer some enjoyable, easily digestible, Friday night frights - but the experience was so entirely devoid of tension, intrigue or wit that I found myself wondering if the filmmakers had ever even seen a horror film before.

This was absolutely the worst type of supernatural horror - the type where the antagonist is either capable, or not capable, of doing whatever the hell is most convenient for the lazy assed writer and director who couldn't be bothered to figure out a proper story or any decent frights. The witch can teleport instantly to or from wheresoever she pleases, making her invulnerable to bullets - although fire extinguisher powder can befuddle her completely apparently, if that's what needs to happen.

Admittedly supernatural horror does require a fair degree of willing suspension of disbelief, and more often than not they inspire eye-rolling instead of terrified shrieks - but I can remember quite a few supernatural horrors of recent years that I was more than happy to go along with for the ride - Sinister, Dead Silence, Insidious to name just a few.

This really was a bad show by the filmmakers, and a disrespectful waste of the viewers' time.

If I were able to vote I'd give this a grudging two out of ten.

I was curious to see why this film deserved a 9+ rating and also quite excited as I had not heard of it before and normally I can rely on the ratings. So I anticipated a good night in with a horror movie. This was not the case, there must be an error with other peoples reviews because this film is terrible the only positive I can think of is that due to the poor acting it made the film quite comical. Prepare yourself for 1hr 40mins of torture if you decide to go ahead and watch this film. Personally I would of proffered to have sat through a Luton Town football game and that is saying something coming from a Watford fan. All i can say is please rate properly this film is a 2.4 at best.

First of all let me start by saying that this is a B-movie. Once you have that in your mind, and you appreciate that it is also a teen flick, you know what you are in for.

I thought the story line was OK, and yes the acting of the cops could have been better, but overall, I enjoyed the film. It even made me jump, (OK only once but that's not the point). Some of the reviewers here have slated this film, but maybe they thought they were going to be watching a big budget 'Hollywood' movie with huge amounts of CGI etc. The effects are fitting for the film. I don't think it needed anymore.

Yes, there are the odd moments when you can see a member of the crew trying to hide, but that can be said of a lot of films. If you are 'in the moment' you don't see them.

I would say that if you are looking for a film to frighten the pants off you, this is not it. It is still an enjoyable film, that (oddly enough) the teens will find great. 6 out of 10 for its genre.

I can't think of a many horror movies that feature a witch as the villain. This one does and the witch is pretty good. I don't see where the movie has a rating. I don't recall any drinking or drug use. Had they cut back on the F word, I bet this movie would have earned a PG-13 rating. The gore isn't direct. This isn't a slasher flicker. I don't recall any direct nudity.

Are there holes in the storyline? Sure, like there are in most B-movies. Is there some remarkably horrible acting at times? As others have said, pretty much anytime the deputies are on screen. Are there one or two decent performances? I thought Diana Hopper as Sammy was a joy and hope to see her in more things. Jess Adams as Julie does a nice job. Adams is the pretty girl and looks to me as a hot mix of Megan Fox and Liv Tyler.

As with any B-movie, you'll howl at some of the plot holes and stupid mistakes made by characters at times. To me, that's part of the fun. Unlike a lot of b-movies, this one has a pretty decent soundtrack.
