Description

When you're dealing with demons, be careful what you wish for... In this ultra-unsettling occult nightmare, teenage Leah (Nicole Muñoz) finds solace from the recent death of her father—and from her strained relationship with her mother (Laurie Holden)—by dabbling in the dark arts. It all seems like harmless fun at first, until a blow out argument leads Leah to do the unthinkable: put a death curse on her mother. No sooner has the girl performed the ritual than she regrets it. But it may be too late, as an evil presence known as Pyewacket begins to make itself known—and threatens to destroy both mother and daughter. Backcountry director Adam MacDonald builds hair-raising tension around what's both a complex mother-daughter tale and a frightening fable about our darkest desires.

    This movie was not good at all. I watched the entire movie and wish I can get back the time I wasted by watching this movie which is not good.
  • Exceptional Movie

    This is the best suspense/horror movie I’ve seen in years. No cheap jump scares but you’ll feel like someone is standing right behind you or watching from the shadows constantly. Absolute mastery at tension buildup. Watch this at night with the lights out.
  • Awesome Movie

    Perfect pacing and legitimately scary at times. An awesome slow build with an ending worth the wait!
  • had to rent it twice...

    I thought maybe I was just feeling a wee bit fragile the first time I watched this...but NO! Every technical aspect of this movie is amazing. And, as a whole, the climax is absolutely brutal.... I haven’t been this unseated by a horror-esque movie in a long, long while. Well done, folks...

    Fascinating movie that relies very little on special effects, sudden loud noises, etc. Rather, the camera work is exceptional. Superb character development. Laurie Holden (Walking Dead) does a great job, as usual. Leaves you wondering a bit at the end, which is also very nice. This is one the young teenagers can watch, ie it's not "too scary". Several times I thought something was going to jump out but nothing did. It's a true phychological thriller. Wish there were more movies out there like this one. BTW - this is the first time I've ever bothered to leave a review on itunes.
  • Sloooow and Low Budget...

    Every time it looks like something might actually happen, the movie resumes its same boring drone. Save yourself time and money by just watching the trailer, and then use your imagination to conjure the movie that might have been.
  • Predictable and slow

    I guessed the ending halfway through the movie. It's more or less the exact same plot of "Goodnight Mommy", except incredibly slow. Nothing happens until the last 20 minutes of the film.
  • Really great atmospheric movie worth a watch

    Of course it’s nothing new and is predictable yet I still really enjoyed it. Got some great tension and a couple good jump scares but mostly a psychological thriller definitely worth a watch for any horror fan!!
