Teenaged Leah (Nicole Muñoz), who spends her free time dabbling in black magic and Satanism with her clique of friends. It's one way of avoiding a disastrous home life. Her mother (Laurie Holden) is falling part, locked in an unsuccessful battle with booze and depression, and lashing out in every direction. It doesn't help that adolescence isn't exactly an age known for hormonal equilibrium, or that Leah has inherited the matrilineal angst. When her mother abruptly moves them to a cabin in the countryside to escape her demons, an enraged Leah invites her own: she conjures the vindictive and unpredictable demon of the title.

Simples no tema e na realização de filme, de baixo orçamento, mas visualmente bem-feito e, acima de tudo, assustador. Pelo menos no clímax. Tudo antes disso será para muitos espectadores provavelmente um preenchimento superficial sobre uma adolescente emotiva fechada, com cenas de susto inacabadas. É verdade que o assunto seria suficiente para um dos três contos de longa-metragem. Apesar disso, estou contente com a atmosfera. Aqueles que são pacientes, que gostam de florestas e histórias muito sombrias, e que gostam de ter medo, receberão o que querem.

Pyewacket suffers from the fact that it essentially fails to build up any scene, except perhaps the one where the mother and daughter argue with each other. As far as horror goes, it's kind of a linear bore from beginning to end that's bearable, but doesn't deliver anything that can pull you in. Even the performances don't really save it. You won't remember the plot of the film for very long after finishing it.
