A defiant teenage boy, struggling with his parent's imminent divorce, faces off with an old witch who has possessed the neighbor next door.

Critics Consensus

The Wretched stirs up a savory blend of witch-in-the-woods horror ingredients that should leave genre fans hungry for a second helping from writer-directors Brett and Drew T. Pierce.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

There's a good balance of firmness and entertaining. Creepy thrills and atmospheric chills, for a pretty modest horror film I thought it did the job pretty well.

There's something appealing about its modest ambitions, with its cast of unknowns, relative low stakes and retro jump scares.

A non-frightening muddle.

...growing up is scary enough, but with a decent plot twist up their sleeve, the makers of The Wretched don’t quite expand their big idea to form a striking, foreboding world in the way that a classic horror can...

THE WRETCHED has so much working in its favor, but it needed to be more fine-tuned to avoid some tone issues and plot holes.

I mean the scariest thing in the entire film was the acting. Save yourselves the watch and skip.

I thought this was great. I was genuinely scared for parts of it, ugh the creepiness of it gave me shivers.

This movie was the equivalent of a white boy going to sleep and dreaming about how he was going to save his highschool crush. Cornball central. Glad he hit puberty at the end though 🩷.
