Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat, the title Pyewacket refers to:
“One of the familiar spirits of a witch detected by the “witchfinder general” Matthew Hopkins in March 1644 in the town of Manningtree, Essex, England. Hopkins claimed he spied on the witches as they held their meeting close by his house, and heard them mention the name of a local woman.”
Moving on, it was a whopping five months ago that we let you guys know that the new black magic horror flick had found a home with IFC Midnight.
The film is directed by Adam MacDonald – who we all know as the man behind the (no pun intended) killer bear flick Backcountry – and co-stars Laurie Holden aka Andrea from AMC’s “The Walking Dead.”
If just that quick collection of talent behind the camera wasn’t enough to pique your interest then maybe the film’s trailer and the poster will help. I’m really digging everything I’m seeing from this film thus far and I cannot wait to check it out once it hits theaters and VOD this March.
Peep the poster to the right and the trailer below, then let us know what you think!
The film is written and directed by Adam MacDonald and stars Nicole Muñoz, Laurie Holden (“The Walking Dead”), Chloe Rose, and Eric Osborne.
Pyewacket hits select theaters and VOD on March 23.
Synopsis:
When you’re dealing with demons, be careful what you wish for… In this ultra-unsettling occult nightmare, teenage Leah (Nicole Muñoz) finds solace from the recent death of her father—and from her strained relationship with her mother (Laurie Holden)—by dabbling in the dark arts. It all seems like harmless fun at first, until a blow out argument leads Leah to do the unthinkable: put a death curse on her mother. No sooner has the girl performed the ritual than she regrets it. But it may be too late, as an evil presence known as Pyewacket begins to make itself known—and threatens to destroy both mother and daughter.
