Pluses: Wonderful atmosphere Creepy as hell Goosebumps I was engaged all the way through Take this. All this. AND get a great writer onboard the script and you've got something classic.

Minuses: Weak on story/plot. Could be a 25 minute short There is a demon/devil in the house. You've seen it. Your brother has seen it. Sheep have been slaughtered. You've seen visions of your deceased mother. Even if you shouldn't move your father...what is the alternative? ..... WHY THE HELL ARE YOU STILL IN THE FARMHOUSE? This makes us angry not at the people on screen but the creators. You could have found a way to leave them trapped there. A storm. A flood. Fake information about some kind of outbreak or poison gas. Whatever. But you and I would grab our father and leave IMMEDIATELY.

Brother leaves his sister and father. Illogical.

What are the rules here? Devil kills mother, brother, sheep, well, everyone, but can't kill the father?

What does the devil want? Why does the caretaker return?

You see a weird old priest at 3am in the dark saying come outside and you know it's weird. BUT at that moment when the telephone rings you both turn around and take a good long stare at it....turn back and he's gone.

How many of those 'devil is there but I'm going to turn away for a second and turn back and he's gone' scenes are there?

How many people at the door must show up before you get suspicious?

If the devil is in the house already then why is he always standing outside knocking?!?!

Exactly what must you see before your start to think there's something going on? I'm not even that religious but if I got a phone call from a dead loved one or saw them floating outside in the dark and my sister has seen weird things just like that.....guess how long I'm staying there for.....?

Nurse stabs herself in the eyes and moments later both eyes are perfectly fine.

Why the devil? Did someone call it? Was it some pact? What?

Atmosphere: 8.5 out of 10 Writing: 4 out of 10 Direction: 8 out of 10 Acting: 6.5 out of 10.

Crack out the popcorn, set up the munches, have some drinks at the ready as once you engage this film fully you'll be engrossed, with such a wonderful slow burn that builds and builds to the point of no turning back, much like a good book if you hit that page you wish you could turn it back a page and stop there. So sit back and enjoy.

The horror genre doesn't frighten me anymore, because I've already tried all kinds of films in the genre, but sometimes I'm taken by surprise. The Dark and the Wicked scared me, gave me goosebumps and gave me some good scares! He didn't promise anything, but he delivered everything and then some, hahah!

Although her driving is slower, she is always progressive! The terror, the bizarre and the dense atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, where we are taken by surprise with each scene. In addition, the sound is extremely present, with sounds of voices, wind or bells, letting fear circulate throughout the film.

However, the movie is not 100% amazing! The text is weak, does not deepen the characters, making their attitudes and motivations too shallow. There is no well-established relationship! It is shown with looks and conversations, very subtly, how close the family is, but that alone is not enough.

Despite the problem, nothing detracts from what good this movie did! An excellent horror! It's been a while since I was scared or felt my heart beat fast, I don't know how I went to watch it just today, but this movie has already entered the list of the best horror, for sure!
