I really don't understand the bad reviews and it seems that every movie out there is the worst ever seen by someone. Now these type of movies are not going for Oscars and people that think so shouldn't watch them. There isn't really anything new here but it was a pretty good movie.

Good characters, acting not bad, story line very predictable, is it a halloween, or a freddie movie? Doubt it but it could spawn others. Sweet to the taste buds and nauseating to the flesh. The principle theme is an old house where kids of all ages disappear. If you throw a rock at the 'wicked's' house and hit it you're safe if you break a window the witch will get you. Moves slowly gently pulling you in then wam. It's like torturing rats in a maze. The cops belong in 'Super Trooper." Good for a hostile comic relief. Suspenseful, in that who will make it and who won't. And a touch of gore.

I was not expecting anything special due to the poor rating this movie got but i was pleasantly surprised in the same fashion as when i watched "Cabin In The Woods" and this movie got me glued to my seat from the beginning to the end. The acting was solid even though none of the actors were recognizable and the Witch in the movie was a fresh concept compared to all the mass murderers/ghosts/monsters in other horrors. This proves that you cant rely on IMDb ratings and need to use your gut feeling sometimes when deciding which movies to spend an evening on. I also love the fact that the ending leaves it open to a sequel and i look forward to another part of "The Wicked" in the future!

This teen movie isn't horror; not even a thriller. I actually find the actors were good and solid. The plot is ordinary; they revisited the common places and a bunch of clichés. But there are too many horror movies like this one that are far better. It just don't scar or spook. I passed it forward most of the time, cause the waiting (for nothing) was so boring. I think that the rating is high cause no one wants to watch the movie (other than the producers or directors and actors). When the voting get quorum the rate will drop seriously down. A demanding question's been hanging in my mind for a while now: If I ever made a movie, i would really try to do something that could make me feel proud and i would try really hard to make it impressive and remarkable. Something different, that could be on people's minds for a while. At least i'd try to communicate. Now, what's suppose to be the message in here? is it worth the work and money spent? No, i think that this is not the case. Just commercial cinema (and real bad cinema). Their demanding question is: how can i make easy money? and i think this is the main reason why the actual panorama in cinema is so poor. The inspiration collides with higher values (money).

First of all let me start by saying that this is a B-movie. Once you have that in your mind, and you appreciate that it is also a teen flick, you know what you are in for. I thought the story line was OK, and yes the acting of the cops could have been better, but overall, I enjoyed the film. It even made me jump, (OK only once but that's not the point). Some of the reviewers here have slated this film, but maybe they thought they were going to be watching a big budget 'Hollywood' movie with huge amounts of CGI etc. The effects are fitting for the film. I don't think it needed anymore. Yes, there are the odd moments when you can see a member of the crew trying to hide, but that can be said of a lot of films. If you are 'in the moment' you don't see them. I would say that if you are looking for a film to frighten the pants off you, this is not it. It is still an enjoyable film, that (oddly enough) the teens will find great. 6 out of 10 for its genre.

This is the worst movie I have watched in a very very long time. It doesn't take a genius to watch this and determine that it is a complete waste of time. So, why the hell does this have 9.3 out of 10 stars?! Horrible acting/actors....poor special effects.....half a** attempt on every aspect of this excuse for a movie. I'm not sure if it was the director, producer, writer, etc, there are so many plot holes and questions like "Why did they stop? Why aren't they running away?" Why didn't they fight back when they were about to be grinded into pieces? Why didn't they try to get out of the ridiculous looking "cocoons" with apples in their mouths? Suggestion: Watch something else.
