Wicken

About This Movie

Wicken (2019) really dives into the dread of isolation and the unseen. It’s mostly set in a single location, which adds to that claustrophobic feel. The young woman, Skyping with her boyfriend, faces an ancient evil, and you can almost feel the tension as she grapples with the unknown. The pacing is slow but deliberate, drawing you into her growing paranoia. The practical effects they use lend a nice touch of authenticity, making whatever is haunting her feel real and unsettling. The performances are solid, especially from the lead—she captures the vulnerability and fear perfectly. It’s not your typical horror flick; there’s a certain atmosphere that lingers long after the credits roll. Definitely a film that sticks with you.
