Američki niskobudžetni akcijski horor triler od redatelja, Petera Winthera o besmrtnoj i zloj vještici koja živi u staroj kući u šumi, a hrani se djecom kako bi postala mlada, lijepa i što moćnija. Legenda kaže – ako pogodite prozor, a da se on ne razbije, ništa se neće dogoditi i bti ćete sigurni, ali ako ga pogodite i on se razbije, ona će vas loviti! Peter je radio kao pomoćnik producenta na filmovima kao što su Independence Day i Stargate, a kao izvršni na Godzilla i Eight Legged Freaks. Naime, Peter je ispekao svoje znanje na filmu The Patriot, na kojem je radio kao pomoćnik redatelja i kao ko-producent. Par godina kasnije je napravio dva uspješna televizijska filma kao što su The Librarian i Touch the Top of the World. Budžet filma iznosi 1,500,000 $., a u filmu glume: Devon Werkheiser, kojeg ste mogli gledati u filmu Beneath the Darkness te Caitlin Carmichael, koju ste mogli gledati u mini seriji Bag of Bones. Za specijalne efekte su se pobrinuli Scott Kodrik i Nicholas Leone, a za vizualne William Mesa, Don Myers, John P. Mesa, Arthur Mesa i Toma Bowen. Premijera bi se trebala dogoditi tokom ove godine, ali točan datum još nije poznat.

When a girl goes missing in a town with a history of mysterious disappearances, local teenagers recall an old legend about a witch who lives in a house in the woods and devours the flesh of children; the young for youth, the strong for power, and the pretty for beauty. On a dare the teens venture to the house to lay to rest the nightmarish tales of their childhood once and for all. What they discover is the legend is true. And the very things that have raised them to the top of the high school pecking order will now turn them into victims for The Wicked.
