The Wretched (2019)
Potential - but I'm not buying it.
This movie had potential. It's quite well made with beautiful shots and the special effects are good. Just a little too much teenage drama for my taste. Ditching a family dinner for a party, getting drunk, late night swimming in the pool, bullies pranking the new guy... For a moment there I thought I was watching The O.C. But if you are willing to ignore all the stupid teenageers doing teenagers stuff - it's an alright movie.
With that said - I can not get over the fact that the husband next door was so CLUELESS. His wife was a beer-drinking, boots-wearing rocker girl. He comes home one night after work to find his wife standing outside the neighbours house. She is wearing a long summer-dress, perfect make up and high heels with her hair perfectly flowing around her shoulders. His son is hiding in the neighbours house and he is clearly terrified for some (not so) mysterious reason. And what does this clueless man do? He takes his son home and tucks him in bed. A normal person would at least think "hey, this is a bit odd. Wifey is acting stranger than usual".
And that dog scene at the lake was just uncalled for.
