4K UHD Review - Sick
June 28, 2025
"Sick" takes viewers back to 2020, when the first wave of COVID-19 dominated daily life, turning everything upside down as people struggled to understand what was happening to health and society. That's enough right there to power a horror movie, and a few productions have attempted to detail life during pandemic times, but "Sick" has something slightly different in mind when it comes to manufacturing a fear factor. "Scream" screenwriter Kevin Williamson (joined by Katelyn Crabb, his former personal assistant) looks to revive his slasher interests with the project, blending moves from previous productions with fresh community paranoia, making for a mildly compelling chiller. It's no major offering of suspense, but director John Hyams (who made a similar endeavor in 2020's "Alone") creates a few tense moments of survival while Williamson and Crabb paw lightly at the agony of the COVID-19 event.
