The Dark and the Wicked
Der Tod hängt über einer Familien-Farm und das hat nicht nur mit dem vor sich hin siechenden
Patriarchen zu tun, der dem Jenseits mit jedem rasselnden Atemzug einen Schritt näher kommt. Seine angereisten Kinder werden
im finsteren Haus bald von unheimlichen Visionen geplagt, während nicht zuletzt ein Priester die Vermutung nährt, etwas Böses
habe sich Zutritt verschafft. Bryan Bertinos formschönes Kino kreist immer um eine täuschend simple Grundsituation, unter
deren Oberfläche eine abgründiger Kern vibriert. The Dark and the Wicked ist ein naturlichterer Rural-Gothic-Thriller in Eleganz
und Perfektion, getragen von einem feinem Ensemble und mit sehr langem Schattenwurf.
