The Wicked

Good acting and good story but needs better direction. You know what your getting here, d2d teen horror of B+ quality. All that said, as others have said, if you like the genre it is worth watching. I did not find it as bad as some others. I watched until the end and though I would have preferred a few more scares, I don't feel like I was sold a bill of goods. It needs to use the storyline to better effect because similar plots have yielded superior movies but I would blame that more on direction than acting. Some of these actors really have what it takes while others... Well, you just have to laugh at how bad their acting is. That's part of the beauty of these movies to me.

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.

I was shocked that the movie was as good as it was, since I saw the IMDb grade and thought "should I waste my time watching this?" and I do not regret the choice I made! I've seen worse movies with higher grades.

The story is kind of a cliché, but it is doable anyway. The actors are actually good compared to what I was expecting and some of the effects were actually well made. I cant say that everything was, but some.

It gave me a few jumpscares, not much but little. The movie also made me laugh a few times with some of the punchlines.

So, if you like me, are at home at a Saturday night, looking for a movie to watch just to pass the time, this is the one.

I can't think of a many horror movies that feature a witch as the villain. This one does and the witch is pretty good. I don't see where the movie has a rating. I don't recall any drinking or drug use. Had they cut back on the F word, I bet this movie would have earned a PG-13 rating. The gore isn't direct. This isn't a slasher flicker. I don't recall any direct nudity.

Are there holes in the storyline? Sure, like there are in most B-movies. Is there some remarkably horrible acting at times? As others have said, pretty much anytime the deputies are on screen. Are there one or two decent performances? I thought Diana Hopper as Sammy was a joy and hope to see her in more things. Jess Adams as Julie does a nice job. Adams is the pretty girl and looks to me as a hot mix of Megan Fox and Liv Tyler.

As with any B-movie, you'll howl at some of the plot holes and stupid mistakes made by characters at times. To me, that's part of the fun. Unlike a lot of b-movies, this one has a pretty decent soundtrack.

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.
