The Wrath of Becky

a review by MovieGuys

I have no objection to the occasional campy, horror flick but this felt like bad satire of bad satire (if that makes sense). Abrasive, woke cretin Becky, is a super duper fem action hero. She's such a hero she unnecessarily provokes bad guys, leading to her elderly care giver being killed and her dog beaten and abducted.

Unsurprisingly, Becky comes for her dog and revenge. Revenge that' hardly imaginative or even overly convincing, on any level. In short, its low brow stuff, that's only alleviated by Sean William Scott's at times drily amusing performance, as lead baddie.

Sadly, that's nowhere near enough to make up for the painfully bad script generally ghastly, characterisations and brain dead violence.

In summary, basic in most regards. I suspect it might appeal to a marginal demographic, of resentful teenage girls, with low expectations entertainment wise, but beyond that.....??
