Nine years ago, actor Adam MacDonald made his feature writing and directing debut with an entertaining survival thriller called Backcountry (watch it Here), which starred Missy Peregrym as a woman lost in the wilderness and menaced by a bear. Two and a half years ago, we heard that MacDonald and Peregrym were going to be teaming up for a new survival thriller called Out Come the Wolves – which, as you might guess from the title, will have Peregrym facing off with a pack of ravenous wolves. Now Variety has confirmed that filming is now underway.
MacDonald is directing Out Come the Wolves from a screenplay by Enuka Okuma, based on a story they crafted with actor Joris Jarsky of God’s Country. The story centers on a woman who brings her male best friend to meet her fiancé at her family’s secluded family cabin in the woods. As tensions grow between the two men,...

Some conduits probably shouldn’t be opened, but being human, it’s obvious that good judgment isn’t always something that’s bound to be used first. In horror movies, good judgment is kind of rare at times. In Pyewacket, emotion is what helps disaster to strike when it comes to Leah and her mother. The understanding is that Leah and her mother aren’t seeing eye to eye and that her mother is doing her best to cope with the loss of her husband, which is only making things worse. Added onto this is the fact that Leah has taken a serious interest in

Welcome back to Let’s Scare Bryan to Death, where this month I have a very interesting treat. Those who remember my interview with Alexandra West about the movie Pyewacket know we both loved it, so this month I’m thrilled to have a chat with the film’s director, Adam MacDonald, who you might also know from his film Backcountry and the third season of Slasher.
For this month’s film, we’re taking a look at MacDonald’s favorite of all time, a South Korean thriller from Hong-jin Na called The Chaser (2008). Now, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical based on the synopsis provided by IMDb: A disgraced ex-policeman who runs a small ring of prostitutes finds himself in a race against time when one of his women goes missing.
From that synopsis I was expecting something overly stylized and action-oriented like Taken,...

Welcome back to Let’s Scare Bryan to Death, where I’m celebrating the Halloween season with one hell of a creepy movie courtesy of Alexandra West. You may know West as one half of the Faculty of Horror podcast, author of Films of the New French Extremity and The 1990s Teen Horror Cycle, and prolific contributor to a list of major horror outlets too long to count. Think of West as that teacher that everyone likes because she doesn’t ham it up with goofy schtick, and she explores complex topics in a way that always seems to make sense.
West chose a perfectly moody, demonic yarn for October in Adam MacDonald’s 2018 horror film Pyewacket. The film follows Leah Reyes (Nicole Muñoz), a teenage girl at odds with her mother (Laurie Holden) following the death of Leah’s father. Leah is brooding and moody, finding comfort in her...

Despite horror’s thematic binding to the world’s most prominent fears – this a year of parental devastation and horrors inside family units – my top genre films from 2018 still revel in variety: arachnid puppets, Nazi experiments, zombie musicals alike. Such morbid creativity would stick out like a sore severed thumb any other year, but in 2018? You could drown out aforementioned absurdity with Nicolas Cage’s descent into occult revenge madness alone.
As I said, it’s been a wild year for horror – and a damn fine one at that.
My ranking comes after killing many darlings, given my final tally of 118 seen horror movies this year. Dig deeper, past these listed twenty, and you’ll still find plenty of gems. The following treasures just shine a little brighter and demand more attention. Feature debuts, streaming darlings, mainstream nightmares, they’re all here.

In 2015 it was announced that Frightfest were set to bring us, under a “Frightfest Presents” banner, some of the horrific delights of their Glasgow and London festivals on DVD and VOD thanks to a partnership with Icon Film Distribution. And whilst that partnership did garner a number of releases – including the likes of Some Kind of Hate, Emelie, Night of the Living Deb and The Sand – the label went dark soon after, with not only the two-year deal coming to an end, but also likely due to the fact that Frightfest partner Icon had some financial woes in 2017, eventually been sold to Kaleidoscope in March of this year.

The best horror movies, in fact the best movies, create characters and relationships that you care about, relate to and want to watch unfold. Pyewacket does all of this. The main relationship is between Leah, played by Nicole Munoz, and her mother, played by Laurie Holden. Like many mother/daughter relationships it is a very love/hate one. After the death of their father and husband, both women are dealing with the situation in different ways. Leah is listening to angry...

Out today in limited theaters and on various VOD platforms is writer/director Adam MacDonald’s stunning occult-fueled thriller, Pyewacket, which is centered on a teenager named Leah (Nicole Muñoz) and her mom (Laurie Holden), who have been coping with a recent family tragedy in very different ways. Their inability to communicate drives a wedge between them, with Leah utilizing the dark arts as a coping mechanism, and as you can probably guess, no good can come from the angsty teen summoning demons to do her bidding.
Daily Dead recently spoke to MacDonald, Muñoz, and Holden about their experiences collaborating together on Pyewacket, and the trio also discussed the real-life inspirations behind the project, how they were able to inject a bit of their own experiences into their performances, and how much they enjoyed collaborating on Pyewacket as well.

How in Satan’s pitchfork-lined hellscape is Hereditary a debut feature? Ari Aster’s inheritance nightmare is abusively tense and traumatic even before an end-all third act crashes down with thunderous implications. Through my screening’s *entire* running length, two fellow critics flanking both my sides audibly gasped and ducked to ward off anxiety attacks – one dry-heaving at points when suspense become unmanageable. That’s what you’re in for. A seductively paced ancestral bone-quaker that’ll bind you, gut you, and laugh as you writhe in discomfort.
In other words, Praise Be The Genre Overlords For I Do Not Need Sleep Nor Sanity To Be Happy.
Hereditary tells of the heartbreak and misfortune that haunts Annie Graham’s (Toni Collette) family. Husband Steve (Gabriel Byrne), son Peter (Alex Wolff) and daughter Charlie (Milly Shapiro) mourn their grandmother’s death with normality, and at first, Annie follows suit. She spends...

One of the films I’m most looking to check out in the near future is Backcountry director Adam MacDonald’s black magic horror flick Pyewacket. The film stars Laurie Holden aka Andrea from AMC’s “The Walking Dead”, and as of today has a bitchin’ alternate poster. I love this new art and personally find it slick as hell. […]...

With the film enjoying a hugely favourable response from those fans than managed to brave the weather and attend Glasgow Frightfest, here’s a brand new trailer and a poster for director Adam MacDonald’s upcoming horror Pyewacket which stars Laurie Holden, Nicole Munoz, Chloe Rose, and Eric Osborne.
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...

The month kicks off with both Ted Geoghegan’s Mohawk and Midnighters from IFC Midnight on March 2nd, and then just a few days later, a handful of titles are launching digitally, including The Dark Crystal (which is a new transfer of the cult fantasy film), Curse of the Mayans, The Crossbreed, Eat Me, The Terrible Two and Flay.
On March 13th, we have a terror-fueled trio to look forward to—Prodigy, Hell’s Kitty, and Attack of the Southern Fried Zombies —and just a week later both Insidious: The Last Key and Welcome the Stranger come home as well.

"Pyewacket can take many forms, don't trust your lying eye."
Playing with the occult and black magic probably isn't the best idea... unless that's your thing and you're ok with having demons in your life. We've got a creepy trailer for an interesting horror film coming out called Pyewacket and it tells the story of a young girl who dabbles in the occult. Things turn into a nightmare for her when she puts a curse on her mom for fun, but as you might expect... things go horribly wrong. An evil presence known as Pyewacket begins to terrorize them both.
There are no big names attached to the film but it looks like a good horror movie that I'd like to check out!

Any horror fan worth their salt knows that rituals and witchcraft are two things that you simply don’t fuck with. And yet, the entire modern-day teenage population of North America apparently just can’t seem to help themselves. The latest in this ongoing canon of adolescent stupidity hails from nearby Canada, and whilst its genre roots seem sturdy enough, the film itself really struggles to ever really get the blood pumping.
Pyewacket (pronounced – exactly as you’d expect – pie-whack-it) comes almost totally devoid of bells-and-whistles, choosing to deliver its classic teenage-trouble supernatural tale very much straight-up. Troubled girl and her recently widowed mother clash, girl wishes her mother was dead, girl performs bloody ritualistic ceremony in an attempt to kill mother, girl regrets it; fairly boiler-plate stuff. There’s no obvious signs of humour or hokeyness, no cackling broom-bound old ladies, and no real knowing nods...

Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat, the title Pyewacket refers to: “One of the familiar spirits of a witch detected by the “witchfinder general” Matthew Hopkins in March 1644 in the town of Manningtree, Essex, England. Hopkins claimed he spied on the witches as they held their meeting close by […]

"Pyewacket can take many forms, don't trust your lying eye." IFC Midnight has released an official trailer for a horror thriller titled Pyewacket, which first premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year. Made by Canadian filmmaker Adam MacDonald (Backcountry), the occult nightmare film is about a girl who puts a curse on her mother for fun, but it suddenly becomes all too real as an evil presence known as Pyewacket begins to make itself known, tormenting both of them. Nicole Muñoz (seen in Tooth Fairy, "Defiance") stars, along with Laurie Holden, Chloe Rose, Eric Osborne, and Romeo Carere. This looks like your standard occult punk rock horror, with a few cool touches but nothing special. It's described as "a complex mother-daughter tale and a frightening fable about our darkest desires." If you're a horror fan, take a peek. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Adam MacDonald's Pyewacket, direct from...
