On a secluded farm, a man is slowly dying. Bedridden and fighting through his final breaths, his wife is slowly succumbing to overwhelming grief. To help their mother and say goodbye to their father, siblings Louise (Marin Ireland) and Michael (Michael Abbott Jr.) return to their family farm. It doesn’t take long for them to see that something’s wrong with mom, though—something more than her heavy sorrow. Gradually, as their own grief mounts, Louise and Michael begin suffering from a darkness similar to their mother’s, marked by waking nightmares and a growing sense that something evil is taking over their family.
In support of the “The Dark and The Wicked” release, we had the pleasure of speaking with one of the film’s producers Adrienne Biddle. We talk about how the film came to be, working with Bryan Bertino, how the movie ended up being filmed on Bryan’s family’s farm, comparisons to “The Strangers,” and more. Listen to our interview with her in the video below and don’t forget to watch what we rate as the #1 horror film of 2020…
