The Wicked
A Group of teenagers test the legend of an immortal witch and get more than they bargained for. It's almost Halloween and six young people, spooked but not undaunted by the folklore surrounding an old haunted house, make their way to the abode of the legendary Wicked, perhaps hoping to provoke the malevolent witch, but clearly not prepared for what they've certainly unleashed.
Why it matters
A low-budget folk horror tale that channels small-town legend into a creeping, atmospheric nightmare.
- Lean, intimate cast amps up the claustrophobic tension around the haunted house trope.
- Practical effects and shadow play deliver old-school chills without relying on CGI crutches.
- Rooted in the classic “teens vs. ancient evil” setup, it’s a solid pick for fans of regional indie horror.
- Not flawless—some pacing wobbles and familiar beats—but the earnestness and eerie mood hold steady.
