IFC Midnight has dated their occult horror film The Wretched for release in limited theaters and on VOD platforms May 1, 2020, Bloody learned.
Written & directed by Brett and Drew Pierce (Deadheads), Meagan reviewed The Wretched for us at Fantasia, writing: “The Pierce brothers have delivered a new dark fairy tale that the midnight crowds will enjoy.”
The Wretched follows a defiant teenage boy, struggling with his parent’s imminent divorce, who faces off with a thousand year-old witch, who is living beneath the skin of the woman next door.
The Wretched stars John-Paul Howard (“Hell or High Water”), Piper Curda (I Didn’t Do It), Azie Tesfai (“Supergirl”), and Kevin Bigley (Netflix’s “Upload”).
The fest had described it as “a dead serious new spin on witchcraft cinema, with a fresh set of rules, likeable and developed teen characters, a ton of surprising scares, and a cauldron of imaginatively gruesome special makeup effects.”
