If you loved Backcountry, try Pyewacket

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Adam MacDonald, and they both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Backcountry, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Pyewacket is

Deep woods. Winter hush. A snapped twig. Leah, teenage and furious, rashly chants a spell to conjure Pyewacket, a dark witch, to off her mom. Soon after, a gnawing dread creeps as a presence makes itself known. Witchcraft is a tricky subject for horror.
