Colin Miller (Nicholas Patten) murdered his family when the wicked one entered him and took over. Years later he escapes from a mental institution around Halloween. A group of young adults hang out at the old homestead on Halloween never knowing Colin has escaped.
The film tries to create drama with Trevor (Cheyenne Gordon) the moody loner small time drug dealer, who was the only cool character in the film, until people push his buttons. His sister screams at him "NO DRAMA!" He seemed to be set up to be the final guy. As expected the killer shows up and kills people in unimaginative fashion.
This is a low budget me-too slasher. The action and Wicked Fest is supposed to take place in Carpenter Falls, Tenn., but the banner in the bar claims it is Nicholasville, Kentucky...about 100 miles or so from the border. The 150 violent psychopaths are guarded by 5 guards, and seemingly never fed. The are held behind a 70 year old wood door with a simple doorknob lock that can be easily opened with a flat object.
The film was well made for a low budget indie. They had some minor sound issues in the halls of the building. The problem was that the killer was boring and lacked a unique mark or identity. A man in a burlap mask with a knife. The burlap mask has been done in 'The Strangers, The Orphanage, Trick 'r Treat, The Wolfman Cometh, Night of the Scarecrow, Gatekeeper, Friday the 13th Part 2, The Den, Cross Bearer, and most films that have the word "scarecrow" in them. So if you are going to use a burlap mask, you need to bring your "A" game, which wasn't present in the film. The production lacked any kind of humor making the dialogue dry, outside of the guard guy talk. There is a supernatural "Jason" type of thing associated with the killer, but that was never developed enough to be entertaining.
Guide: F-word, sex, something that may pass for nudity.
