Film Review: "Sick"

See this content in the original post

Anytime Kevin Williamson takes on writing duties for a horror film, there is cause for celebration. Responsible for some of my favorites in the history of the genre—including the Scream franchise, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Faculty, and Cursed—Williamson’s name amongst the credits for any project warrants attention. His latest script, co-written by Katelyn Crabb, delivers big on one major feature prevalent in many 90s greats: chase scenes. In fact, Sick takes it one step further by essentially evolving into one massive chase, courtesy of a foreboding stalk-and-slash murderer. Directed by John Hyams (2020’s Alone), Sick wrings every ounce of tension from a visceral, effective script. Essentially a thriller fan’s wet dream, the sheer intensity and nail-biting madness of its finest moments will shake any casual viewer to their core.
