The Wicked

About This Movie

The Wicked (1988) is a curious blend of comedy and horror, set in the isolated town of Yarralumla, where Sir Alfred Terminus has a rather peculiar taste for newcomers. The film has this offbeat charm with its quirky characters and a darkly humorous undertone that keeps you engaged. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the overall quirky vibe. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that fits the film's aesthetic. Performances vary, but they capture that small-town eccentricity well, making it distinctive. It’s interesting how it tackles themes of community and survival in such a bizarre context, with a tone that wavers between light-hearted and sinister. Worth a watch for those who appreciate oddities in the genre.
