Verdict on Wickedly Evil
Wickedly Evil is a horror comedy following a bunch of thieves whose latest job has gone horribly wrong. They must hide out in their safe house for further instructions until they find themselves fighting for their lives.
In the world of criminals hiding out after a crime only to face a bigger threat. This is a welcomed addition to that collection of movies. The story keeps us guessing as to what will happen next, as nothing is made clear early on. We get a chaotic nature to the story because of how the heist has gone wrong. Which only adds to the mystery of what is going on. However, it does feel like it waits too long to give us the full reveal as that only adds another layer of chaotic nature to the story.
Where to Watch: Wickedly Evil is Released on digital 13 November 2023
Final Thoughts –Wickedly Evil is a chaotic comical tale.
