If you loved Vicious, try The Dark and the Wicked
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 Bryan Bertino, and they both carry the dread, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Vicious, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Dark and the Wicked is
Nightfall on a silent farmstead. A shuffle of sheets, a rasping breath. The dying man’s kin assemble, their hollow condolences crumbling against unseen tremors. Hushed voices curdle into whispers about scrawled bunkhouse prayers, late-night footsteps that vanish mid-hallway. Shadows lengthen between wings of the house. A one-line throwback to Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chain Saw aesthetic, with Godwin’s Law as the horror.
