AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
degothia Dont even know where to start but i can say the great reviews this one has received have to be 100% fake. One hundred percent. Else the reviewers watched another movie.It isnt even worth calling this a movie.Absolutely nothing happens for and hour and twenty some minutes.Story is bad, script is worse and acting is aweful.Just dont watch.
fanan450 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
neenz9040 This isn't like your typical scare flick so if you're looking for something like that then this isn't it. I felt on edge after the first hour and had goosebumps the last thirty minutes. The ending was unexpected and well deserved.
lost-in-limbo Decent, but I was a little disappointed in how the Canadian independent horror "Pyewacket" went about setting up its narrative and final denouncement. All mood, predictable tradegy filler, secluded house in the woods, occult doodling, an unstable mother and lonely daughter relationship leads to a rush of blood to the head ending in harrowing regret. The summoning of an evil entity to fulfil a wish, bad vibes and death slowly toying, and manipulating its victims to serve a purpose.Really, not much happens for three quarters of the film with a routine set-up going through the motions, and then its creeping structure becomes perilously high stakes. It's light on the thrills and minimal effects, favouring a less is more approach of camera trickery, atmospheric toiling and pounding thuds. So if you're tired of jump scares, your in luck because you going to get something quite reserved for the majority of the time. The supernatural force early on, is deliberately kept off-screen. After a creepy first appearance as a black shapeless apparition seeping from the walls unbeknown to the sleeping daughter, it disappears, yet the presence is always felt preying upon each and every step of those on the estate. Finally the entity comes to the forefront and makes itself known in the third act, but even then its quite limited on how far it goes, and it's over in a matter of minutes. Finishing on a disturbing and nasty executed climax with decisive sting in its tail twist, but the effectiveness of the twist doesn't work, because you see it coming. The story blatantly lets you in on it, just before the delirium kicks in. Now was meant to be a twist, because it felt like one, yet it doesnt feel like it paid off?So was this simple slow-burn horror; of quick cutaways, false lingering build-ups and ominously "loud" sound FX (and boy is it overused) all constructed around its (shocking?) final scenes. If so, it misses the point since as a viewer we are already steps ahead. Everything comes to an abrupt ending, where certain details brought up about the consequences (discussed by an occult expert) surrounding the black ritual, are now skimped over, or forgotten about in its closing scenes. In a way, it feels like a lot of hot air. Technically well-made; great location shooting and solid acting by Nicole Munoz and Laurie Holden sharing honest portrayals, but still it's a lot of hot air.
