About this episode
The Pierce brothers — Drew and Brett — were essentially born to do horror movies considering their father Bart was a photographic FX artist on the original “Evil Dead” movie by Sam Raimi. Following their first film “Deadheads” that came out back in 2011, the siblings decided to take a stab at a different genre in the horror field by focusing on witches. Inspired by the idea to build a different interpretation and mythology around witches, the Pierce brothers wanted to apply a dynamic to a supernatural creature that would only exist within a certain set of rules like Freddy Krueger in nightmares or Dracula stalking the night. The result was “The Wretched” — a film about a boy named Ben who goes to live with his father for the summer as his parents are stuck in the middle of an ugly divorce and he starts to notice that something is not quite right with his neighbor. When children start disappearing and nobody seems the wiser, Ben tries to take matters into his own hands. In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we’re going to pour some salt out and check the basement as we talk about the 2020 film “The Wretched”….
