This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I expected more from this film, but it is quite enjoyable, although slow-paced for the most part. The ending is brutal and kind of took me by surprise.… Expand

I feel this film received more praise than deserved, in addition its narrative rhythm is too slow and the film falls more into suspense and mystery than in horror and that is incidentally something that discourages and makes you feel cheatedI feel this film received more praise than deserved, in addition its narrative rhythm is too slow and the film falls more into suspense and mystery than in horror and that is incidentally something that discourages and makes you feel cheated because it's announced like a horror movie. And I hate to say it but the film looks really cheap and some shots look incredibly amateurish.… Expand

I have a lot of issues with Pyewacket: (dull dialogue between the mother and her daughter, bad set up for the dramatic aspect, some scary scenes that either don't have too much to do with the story or just were poorly executed, slow pacingI have a lot of issues with Pyewacket: (dull dialogue between the mother and her daughter, bad set up for the dramatic aspect, some scary scenes that either don't have too much to do with the story or just were poorly executed, slow pacing that didn't work before the climax), but this indie flick also has a lot of pros:

Adam MacDonald used many clever techniques for shooting the jump scares and the other scary scenes using very wide shots to reveal somethings which is very unique and creative way to be used in Horror films. The slow pacing helped the film after the climax and really made it an insidious slow burn.The movie established masterful rules and basics for the evil force from using the rituals. Also, the sound engineering and the editing are top-notch and so risky to be used that way in a horror film but that made some scenes seem way scarier than what they could have been.

All the performances were very good and helped enhancing the terror aspect and elevating the dramatic one. The psychological part played a vital role to make me invested in the characters and the story itself, and of course Nicole Muñoz who played Leah has a big role in that.

The cinematography is great; it is dreary and gloomy but also strangely beautiful.
