An angsty teenager is driven by passion and uses a ritual to task a demonic spirit with the murder of her mother.
'Pyewacket' is a drama film with strong horror accents, the line between the two genres being thin and subject to the viewer's interpretation. The main character's feelings may be justifiable in terms of the reality of rebellious teenagers everywhere, but the limit the teenager in question goes over so easily is perhaps harder to understand, or maybe not - just because other young people who tried the same thing in real life didn't actually raise a spirit. The film is well made, the doubt of reality vs hallucination is well placed and the aspect of horror is well represented.
