In THE DARK AND THE WICKED, on a secluded farm, a man is bedridden and fighting through his final breaths while his wife slowly succumbs to overwhelming grief. Siblings Louise (Marin Ireland) and Michael (Michael Abbott Jr.) return home to help, but it doesn’t take long for them to see that something’s wrong with mom—something more than her heavy sorrow. Gradually, they begin to suffer a darkness similar to their mother’s, marked by waking nightmares and a growing sense that an evil entity is taking over their family.
THE DARK AND THE WICKED DVD and Blu-ray include the following bonus feature: Fantasia Q&A with Marin Ireland and Michael Abbott Jr.
“a chilling descent into nihilistic evil” – Bloody Disgusting
