IFC Films has released a poster and trailer for Brett and Drew T. Pierce’s upcoming supernatural horror The Wretched which stars John-Paul Howard as Ben, a rebellious teenage boy who discovers that a skin-walking witch is posing as the woman next door and makes it his mission to stop her.
Following his parents’ separation, a rebellious teenage boy, Ben, is sent to live with his father for the summer and work at the local marina in order to gain some form of discipline. The idyllic tourist town offers little solace for him, however, as he is forced to deal with the local, privileged teens and his father’s new girlfriend. Ben’s problems grow increasingly disturbing when he makes a chilling discovery about the family renting the house next door. A malevolent spirit from the woods has taken ahold of the parents and starts playing a sinister game of house, preying upon the children and wiping away any trace of their existence. Ben’s suspicions of the supernatural horrors go unheeded and he launches a perilous crusade in order to put an end to the skin-walking witch’s reign of terror.
The Wretched is set for release on May 1st.
