Review of Pyewacket

Pyewacket (2017)
7/10
Slow fused, low SFX high quality acting
13 June 2018
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.
