Quote:
Following his parents' separation, a rebellious teenage boy, Ben, is sent to live with his father for the summer and work at the local marina in order to gain some form of discipline. The idyllic tourist town offers little solace for him, however, as he is forced to deal with the local, privileged teens and his father's new girlfriend. Ben's problems grow increasingly disturbing when he makes a chilling discovery about the family renting the house next door. A malevolent spirit from the woods has taken a hold of the parents and starts playing a sinister game of house, preying upon the children and wiping away any trace of their existence. Ben's suspicions of the supernatural horrors go unheeded and he launches a perilous crusade in order to put an end to the skin-walking witch's reign of terror. Chilling and suspenseful, THE WRETCHED offers a modern update to the retro young hero's mission like that of The Goonies, and promises to make viewers wary of every dark corner they encounter after witnessing its terrifying tale.

I actually quite enjoyed this one. Definitely got more enjoyment out of this than I did with Sea Fever which wasn't bad, but it just didn't satisfy my creature feature fix like I wanted it too. It's basically Rear Window/Disturbia but with a Witch and while that might not sound appealing to some it really did work for me. I just loved how much this felt like a movie from the 80's and it helps that most of the characters were pretty likable. The Witch antagonist was utilized very well IMO too and creepy enough even though this movie is far from a gorefest and really doesn't have that much of a high bodycount. The ending is the only thing I wasn't a big fan of, but this will definitely hold me until Antlers comes out.

Agreed with Dil. This was surprisingly good and does remind me of Disturbia with a witch. The aspect of forgetting someone was really good but wasn't used very effectively in the end.
