Be careful what you wish for…

In Pyewacket, from director Adam MacDonald (Backcountry), a frustrated girl (Nicole Muñoz) attempts an occult ritual but awakens something sinister in the woods instead. Hailing out of Canada, the psychological thriller, from the executive producer of The Witch, is actually about a young girl who performs an occult ritual to evoke a witch to kill her mother.

Artist Jeanne D’Angelo has created an alternate piece of art for the IFC Midnight release that’s slated for March 23rd on VOD. On it, she evokes the witch, Pyewacket: “Darkness, I charge you with this sign.”

We are huge fans of this indie gem here on Bloody.

“After her father dies, teenager Leah is forced, by her unstable mother, to leave her friends behind and move to a house in the woods. Feeling isolated and hopeless, Leah turns to Black Magic to release her anger. She naively performs an occult ritual found in a book on her bedroom shelf to invoke the spirit of a witch to kill her mother. Terrified by strange occurrences, and stricken by guilt, Leah desperately tries to reverse the spell, but soon realizes she has awoken something in the woods… and nothing can prepare her for the terror that has been unleashed.”
