A victim of workplace bullying seeks vengeance against his tormentors using ancient and sinister forces. Day of the Wicked marks the unholy return of the Cousins Brothers -- Brent and Blake Cousins -- with a blood-soaked modern reimagining of their notorious 1991 shot-on-video cult favorite Slaughter Day. Blending the raw energy of DIY horror with updated visual effects and atmosphere, this remake resurrects the original's splatterpunk spirit while opening new gates of demonic mayhem. When a meek construction worker is pushed to his breaking point, he decides to strike back at his abusive co-workers using black magic. His revenge unleashes something far beyond human control - an ancient and malevolent force that turns vengeance into apocalypse. As the demonic presence spreads, sanity unravels, flesh mutates, and the line between victim and monster vanishes in a frenzy of blood, violence, and dark humor. True to the Cousins' underground legacy, Day of the Wicked channels the manic chaos of classic horror like The Evil Dead, Night of the Demons, and Braindead, mixing outrageous practical effects with delirious energy. The film's handcrafted gore, practical splatter effects, and wild editing harken back to the VHS horror boom -- but this time with a sharper, more sinister edge. Presented by Wild Eye Releasing, this new edition includes trailer materials and showcases the Cousins Brothers' evolution from cult SOV pioneers to veteran purveyors of splatter cinema. Day of the Wicked is a delirious descent into infernal revenge -- a demonic rampage where workplace cruelty meets supernatural payback and no one escapes unscathed.
