Dear Wormwood

About This Movie

So, 'Dear Wormwood' is a real curiosity in the horror genre. You have these four women living in isolation in the mountains, and the atmosphere is just heavy, you know? It's like this slow burn that really emphasizes their faith and the tranquility of their lives before everything goes haywire with the arrival of this time-traveling ghost. The pacing shifts as the tension builds, and the practical effects give it a raw, gritty feel that really works in its favor. Performances are solid, particularly in how they capture the blend of fear and resolve. The themes of faith clashing with existential dread are pretty intriguing—definitely not your run-of-the-mill horror flick, that’s for sure.

'Dear Wormwood' remains a bit of an enigma in collector circles, given its scarcity and the limited formats it’s been released on. It’s only been available in select indie film festivals and a few niche distribution deals, which adds to its intrigue. Collectors often seek it out not just for the unique storytelling but also for its practical effects, which stand out in an age of digital over-reliance. So, if you come across it, it might be worth grabbing, especially considering how elusive it can be.
