Whether that’s due to talent hampered by a lack of time and money, it’s difficult to say. But the production values are student level. The influences would seem to be a respectable roll call of the likes of Reservoir Dogs, Shaun of the Dead and Clerks. This all sounds potentially very entertaining, if hardly original, and it’s a shame Wickedly Evil can’t live up to the reliable genre thrills promised by the premise. What more could go wrong?
