I always enjoy discovering newly minted low-budget films that represent new talent - writer/director Adam MacDonald and lead actress Nicole Muñoz.
The steadfast factor of stability here, with a bit of bottle age, is Laurie Holden, as Nicole's mother.
Pyewacket (presumably named after Kim Novak's cat(s) in Bell, Book and Candle, is a genuinely creepy film, that works under the concept of "Be careful what you wish for. Someone may hear you."
And the problem is that the someone is a demon, that won't go away.
Photographed in a very specific low chroma style, by Canadian DP, Christian Bielz - Pyewacket is a Canadian production, shot in Ontario.
While it won't have you viewing through the space between your fingers, the IFC Films production, released via Scream Factory, is worthy of your attention.
Low budget. Tiny cast.
It works.
