‘The Dark and the Wicked’ review: So many scares that nothing is scary
“The Dark and the Wicked” would benefit from some light and some normal.The sleepy horror movie is an onslaught of spooky images that, while well-done, are watered down by sheer abundance. We stop being scared after the first 15 minutes because there is nothing new to see.Writer-director Bryan Bertino’s film is more about mood than story, with a thin plot in which two adult siblings (Marin Ireland and Michael Abbott Jr.) come home to see their dying father, whom their mom believes is being hounded by the devil.
