The Wicked Within
Every family has its demons. The truth will possess us all.
Directed by Jay Alaimo
Produced by After Dark Films, High Five Films
A dark family horror that uses supernatural unease and buried trauma to expose the demons lurking beneath domestic facades.
After a year passes since the sudden death of a child, a family gathering takes place whilst unexplainable events occur. Tension over peculiar circumstances cracks the veneer of cordiality and dark secrets emerge.
