Reaction: Sadie Sink has a bit of a box office hot streak going (more on that in the Box Office Breakdown). And now with another medium-sized hit, we inch closer to avoiding a record low in the profit department. We're still less than half way there though with just one round to go.


"While not a perfect film, and certainly derivitive of other horror/fantasy films and stories, writer Roy Horne has bent the Marvel Universe toward some of his strengths as a writer. The imagery and soundtrack work together with Sink's performance to give the Scarlet Witch a memorable LRF debut." - Jason Helm, New York Observer





"What starts out as a Marvel Comics version of Stephen King's Carrie evolves into its own beast entirely around the mid-point. Sadie Sink continues her rise to A-List status with another impressive leading performance as LRF's version of the Scarlet Witch. Director Leigh Janiak and writer Roy Horne play the role to Sink's strengths as an actress and surround her with a supporting cast that play their roles perfectly." - Brenton Smalls, Playboy




"The more intimate Marvel tales from Last Resort Films continue here with Roy Horne's impressive debut into the universe. This one makes its distinct mark by being a horror film first and foremost, feeling more like Carrie meets Lovecraft and darker than anything you'll see from Disney's MCU. After her work on Stranger Things, Sadie Sink is well-prepared for a role of this type while Horne and Janiak smartly fill the supporting cast with veterans like Winslet and Slater, who deliver when they need to." - Michael St. Felix, The Charlotte Observer







Rated R for intense violence and thematic material
