‘The Dark and the Wicked’ Review: Marin Ireland Unnerves in Diabolical Horror Movie

’s slender script translates into a low-humming, allusvie narrative of tingling terror. His evocation of a familiar, domestic world mysteriously sliding into chaos feels all the more blood-curdling because the protagonists’ distress and helplessness are emotionally relatable.

The siblings discover a bag of small crucifixes that their mother collected and a diary scrawled full of fearful premonition, especially of danger to David’s soul. His parttime nurse says she noticed Mrs. Straker talking as if a third person was around. A priest visits, telling them the family’s rejection of Christian faith has left the door wide open for diabolical forces to enter.

That this evil is intangible renders it more omnipresent, especially when each scene delivers a sign that it’s inching closer by the day. The creepiest of which is when characters behaving normally stop mid-conversation to make utterances that sound like direct-messaging from Satan. However, after meticulous thought has gone into cultivating a foreboding mood, the ending is jarringly abrupt, as if it’s found footage that got cut off.

Need to get to this soon! Marin Ireland is a whole another level 🥰
