Excellent, a Must See

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

There is no plot, no point, no outcome and no justification for this being made at all. Absolutely awful.

I must say , when I watched this movie I enjoyed a little ( just a little) , but I am not fully satisfied , although it has a promising good story from the beginning ,but unfortunately they didn't make it great and I don't know who to blame ,in my opinion this movie need more scary jump scenes more scary music etc , so in the end this kind of movies I always used to call it ( a movie to forget). 5/10

With its silly-sounding title* and ambiguous storyline, Pyewacket seems to be following in the footsteps of The Babadook (2014), a film that left the viewer unsure as to whether its horrors were real or a figment of the imagination.Pyewacket's protagonist is pretty teen Leah (Nicole Muñoz), who has developed an interest in the occult following the death of her father. When her mother (Laurie Holden) announces that they are moving to a new home, hours away from her friends and school, Leah is understandably upset.Shortly after moving home, Leah has a bitter argument with her mother and, in a rage, conducts a ritual to summon a supernatural creature to kill the poor woman. In the following days, Leah regrets her actions, but is it too late to stop the monster she has unleashed?Delivering no concrete evidence to support the idea that Pyewacket is anything but imaginary, a product of Leah's increasingly fragile mind, the film is more of a psychological drama than a horror, extremely slow-burn and devoid of scares or tension. Ultimately, the whole thing amounts to a drawn-out build-up topped off with a short, sharp, shocking payoff that is nasty, but not really worth the wait.*After doing a bit of research, I found that Pyewacket was actually one of the familiar spirits of a witch detected by Matthew Hopkins, the Witchfinder General, in 1644. It's still a silly name...

The movie is average budget (in a good way) but you can feel extra care was put into editing. Sound editing is also really good. Story remind me of Mister Babadook in the occult/psychological portraying of spirits and possession. And grief.The gothic teenager cast is accurate, and realistic, and give a pretty interesting "coming of age" taste to the story. Nicole Munoz is pretty moving in the role of an anxious Goth girl. Great performance. Its never cliché and you do genuinely care about her story, and get to understand her point. Her performance shadow the one of Laurie Holden the grieving mother, wich is still pretty okay.Its a slow-fuse, low SFX horror story that give a paced creeping sense of unease. Dont expect a lot of jumpscare, its litterally hauting. All in one its a very decent second movie for the young director.
