The Wretched

The Wretched (2019) is a horror film from the Pierce brothers you can watch online on iFILM. A teenager spends the summer at his dad's lakeside town and starts noticing something wrong behind the neighbors' door.

Seventeen-year-old Ben (John-Paul Howard), rattled by his parents splitting up, kills time spying on the family next door. At first it's just odd. Then it's nightmarish — an ancient forest thing, a witch, has crawled inside the neighbor's skin. She feeds on children and, worse, erases every trace they ever existed, so parents look at their own kids and see strangers. Ben is the only one left who remembers the missing, and no one believes a word he says.

Drew and Brett Pierce shoot it the old-fashioned way, leaning on practical effects and damp woodland dread instead of digital blood. The tiny indie became a surprise hit, holding the top of the box office for weeks. A solid creature horror for anyone who misses scares without the gloss. Stream The Wretched (2019) online on iFILM.
