Review of The Wretched (2019) by Dennis Harvey for Variety — 28 Apr 2020
The film successfully mixes together a lot of things, from the waterfront tourist-town setting of “Jaws” to a general teen fantasy-adventure feel that tempers (without weakening) horror content variably redolent of “It,” “Fright Night” and myriad other predecessors.
If originality isn’t a strong suit here, the film’s conviction and polish make that a minor sin.
