Wicked
“Evil never looked so good.”
Thriller
A cul-de-sac in an oppressive suburb becomes a literal dead end for wife and mother Karen Christianson when she is brutally murdered in her own home. In the wake of the event, Karen's teenage daughter Ellie begins to exhibit bizarre behaviors as she slowly acquires her mother's demeanor and mannerisms. Meanwhile, Karen's husband Ben nurtures a less-than-innocent interest in the family's sultry live-in nanny, Lena.
VIBE
This film oozes a suffocating, sleazy atmosphere. It's a slow descent into psychological rot, where repressed desires and dark secrets fester beneath a veneer of suburban normalcy. Expect a palpable sense of dread and unease.
