Pyewacket Reviews
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The director is out for blood, and while this is a slow-burn affair that craftily bides its time until just the proper moment to unleash a flurry of dexterously ominous thrills, the craven wickedness of it all is portentously intoxicating.
HorrorNews.net
Marisa Mirabal
An enjoyable thriller that stalks the multi-layered aspects of grief, family dynamics, and psychological salvation with a haunting accuracy.

Dustin Putman
Takes an age-old proverb—"Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it"—and puts its own diabolical spin on it.
Bloody Disgusting
Joe Lipsett
MacDonald's screenplay teases and delays, ramping up the psychological tension and employing a few deft narrative surprises that keep us guessing, especially with regard to the timing of Pyewacket's arrival.
Dread Central
Drew Tinnin
Part family drama and part supernatural horror, Adam MacDonald's second feature, Pyewacket, shows what happens when a morbid curiosity with the occult becomes a terrifying pact that can't be undone.

The more I've thought about the film since seeing it, the more I've come to appreciate the restraint, which is a rare quality in horror films.

It actually takes itself very seriously... I felt the terror between the characters and the teen.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
It's the rare horror film that's actually more effective in psychological terms than in suspense ones.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
As a psychodrama about a troubled mother and daughter, this movie is gripping from start to finish.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Pyewacket is a slow burn chiller that is all the more impressive for its subtlety.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Given the lack of budget at his disposal, it's impressive how MacDonald is able to conjure up such an unnerving atmosphere.
Film School Rejects
Rob Hunter
A simple premise, a steady build-up, and a fantastically creepy third act that lands with a punch to the gut.
Daily Dead
Heather Wixson
When it comes to horror movies that leave the biggest impression on me as a viewer, it's usually the films that tap into my emotional core that hit me the hardest, which is why Pyewacket hit me with such a ferocious gut punch.

Slow Burn 'Pyewacket' Delivers Brooding Heavy Metal Horror.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
Simultaneously scares the hell out of you and puts you through the emotional wringer.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
A slow-burn chiller with an excellent sense of creepiness, "Pyewacket" handles evil and angst with tremendous skill.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
There's nothing especially unusual here, but Pyewacket delivers on its premise and acts as a reminder that a thorough approach to the craft of storytelling will always give a film that bit more bite.
Birth.Movies.Death.
Jacob Knight
While Pyewacket may not be perfect, it's still a promising little feature, proving its writer/director definitely has a distinct genre voice, as long as he learns to polish the more recognizable elements into something unique.
Boom Howdy
Dev Shea
Aside from the issues, I did enjoy the Pyewacket. It had a nice found footage feel without actually being found footage. Would I watch it again? I'm not sure but I definitely recommend giving this movie at least a once over.

David Nusair
...a decent (yet flawed) genre exercise.
