"Be careful what you wish for, someone might be listening." An occult death curse threatens to destroy a mother and daughter in the new horror movie Pyewacket (read Heather Wixson's 4-star review here), and with Adam MacDonald's new horror film out today in theaters and on VOD platforms from IFC Midnight, we've been provided with an exclusive clip to share with Daily Dead readers.
Written and directed by Adam MacDonald, Pyewacket stars Nicole Muñoz, Laurie Holden, Chloe Rose, and Eric Osborne. Check out an intense conversation between mother and daughter in our exclusive clip below, and read on for the official synopsis:
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. Backcountry director Adam MacDonald builds hair-raising tension around what’s both a complex mother-daughter tale and a frightening fable about our darkest desires."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
