The Wicked

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.

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.

You could not expect something from such a very low budget film, in comparison with a 100 Million budget film, this move with such limited resources is very good you can't expect a fancy effects with a proper funding, the horror element is acceptable though I expected much more.

The over all acting is good, with some low quality acting in some seines especially the ones involved with the police officers, many actors seems to be there first time in movie, or just there acting is extremely bad and not convincing at all.

I keep watching the time during the film and just waiting to end it without fast tracking or forwarding the play, because I did not expect any thing new and a lot of seines are repeated through the movie which made it boring.

I am not a big watcher of teenage scare movies which is the category this falls into, but I made an exception here to see why this was rated 9+. I now know that the 9+ rating must have been from people associated with the movie.

Saying all that it was really not all that bad if you have few or no expectations. I decided to watch it no matter if it was boring cheesy or not just to get to the end and was surprised at how much I liked it. It is predictable as other reviewers have said, but it also has a few surprises and isn't a complete waste of 100 minutes.

Nothing special here, but it is not a 2 or 3 rating movie either, I give it a 5 at least and if hard pushed a 5.5.

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.
