The Way of the Wicked

About This Movie

The Way of the Wicked is quite the curious little film, isn't it? It weaves a strange tale of two women on a mission, trying to prevent a young girl from biting the Host during her First Communion. There’s this underlying tension throughout, almost a creeping dread, that really pulls you in. The atmosphere has a rawness to it, and the pacing is intentionally slow, which might not be for everyone, but it builds this unsettling mood. The performances are intriguing, especially considering the unknown director's choices. It feels distinctly offbeat, and the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a layer of authenticity that complements the film's themes of innocence and corruption.

The Way of the Wicked has a somewhat murky distribution history, which makes it a bit of a hidden gem among collectors. Various formats have emerged over the years, but finding an original copy can be a challenge. Interest seems to be growing, especially among those who appreciate offbeat horror narratives and unique thematic explorations. It definitely stands out in the 80s horror landscape, albeit in a niche sort of way.
