Vicious (2025)
Some seek solitude to escape the challenges life brings, but more often it's a self-imposed prison that holds them back. Polly is a young woman who lacks direction and lives in a rental house owned by her sister. One night, she answers the door to an older woman, whom she agrees to help, only to find that the woman gives her a box that is not a gift and sends her down a dangerous path. Vicious is a 2025 thriller written and directed by
Bryan Bertino, starring
Dakota Fanning as Polly. Movies about cursed objects often borrow from
The Monkey's Paw and involve a seemingly great reward with an unexpected peril. Vicious is different in that Polly is not given any choice and is compelled to fulfill the box's seemingly difficult and often dangerous requests. The grueling tasks Polly endures showcase Dakota Fanning's incredible talent, and audiences will cringe at the violence she faces. Vicious is a brutal movie, and while not as bloody as torture porn, it may unsettle some fans with its brutality. Despite that, Vicious offers a unique twist on the
cursed-object genre and will definitely win people over thanks to Dakota's excellent portrayal.
