The Dark and the Wicked

The Dark and the Wicked (2020) is a bleak folk horror you can watch online on iFILM. A remote farm somewhere in rural Texas. The old father is dying, and his grown children, Louise and Michael, drive home to say goodbye despite their mother begging them to stay away.

They should have listened. On the first night their mother takes her own life, and something nameless settles into the house. It begins with whispers and bad dreams. Then come voices that sound like family and visions too vivid to dismiss. The evil never lurks in corners — it dismantles the family piece by piece, feeding on guilt and the simple fact that no one can bring themselves to leave.

Director Bryan Bertino, who made The Strangers, shot this on his own parents' farm, and that private grief bleeds into every frame. Marin Ireland carries the whole crushing weight of a daughter coming undone. Hopeless, light on cheap jump scares, heavy on dread — this is for viewers who want horror that genuinely hurts.
