关于此电影

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 known—and threatens to destroy both mother and daughter. Backcountry director Adam MacDonald builds hair-raising tension around what's both a complex mother-daughter tale and a frightening fable about our darkest desires.

评分和评价

the movie isnt really horror, just more of a psychological mind screw. its really slow, acting kind of wooden. maybe it can scare middle school kids but not even worth direct-to-DVD movie either.

Solid acting and believable characters! Don't find that with most low budget horror films. Well directed with a nice suspenseful build-up throughout. Ending was a bit lacking in my opinion but all in all I'd recommend it to a friend.

The plot is not original, but the main character’s circumstances are a little different. Not enough character development or complexity in the storyline. Other than a few surprises it escalates in typical Slenderman, Bye Bye Man, Boogeyman fashion.
