Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"[T]his is a thoroughly engrossing dark fairy tale, shot by Conor Murphy in unsettling low angles and insidious compositions, and graced by a Devin Burrows score that escalates from ominous dread into nerve-jangling haute terror." - 04/21/2020 Hollywood Reporter
"[A]n accomplished second feature by Brett and Drew T. Pierce that is good fun in a vaguely retro, LOST BOYS-type teen horror way." - 07/25/2019 Variety
"[T]he movie’s no-frills thrills recall the spirit of horror movies past: THE WRETCHED would fit in nicely on a double bill with, say, FRIGHT NIGHT or THE GATE..." - 05/02/2020 A.V. Club
"Opening with a spookily effective, 1980s-set prologue, this old-fashioned witchy brew from Brett and Drew Pierce jumps to the present where Ben, a moody teenager, is having trouble dealing with his parents’ divorce." - 04/30/2020 New York Times
3 stars out of 5 -- "There’s something appealing about its modest ambitions, with its cast of unknowns, relative low stakes and retro jump scares." - 05/10/2020 The Guardian
