The Wretched (2019)
Retro vibes horror done right...
What a pleasant little surprise to stumble across on streaming.
The Wretched has a great cast of characters, an engaging plot, some banger dialogue, great looking scenes, slick music drops, a great villain, and a few surprises along the way.
Despite some muddled bits and a rushed epilogue, the FEEL of this movie was great. It kinda reminded me of Adam Wingard's The Guest (2014) but leaning more into Spielbergian thriller territory rather than neon-synth schlock. Very 80s but without the synthetic pandering of Stranger Things season 2 and onwards.
I definitely will be checking out the back catalog of The Pierce brothers and look forward to what they make next. On a side note, there is an interesting bit of trivia about them here at IMDB and there connection to The Evil Dead franchise, so make sure to check it out.
Cheers!
