About This Movie

Lyco (2018) melds action and horror in a way that feels gritty and raw. The story revolves around Lyco Fontaine, a voodoo priest played by Macquell James, who's on a quest for the Port of Spain elephant relic. There's a unique atmosphere here; it feels steeped in folklore and danger, especially with the looming threat of what happens if this powerful relic lands in the wrong hands. The pacing is uneven at times, but it adds to the unsettling vibe. What stands out are the practical effects—some real creativity in the creature design. The performances, particularly from James, carry a weight that makes the supernatural elements resonate. It’s definitely a distinct entry in the genre, not your usual fare.
