Wick is a mysterious film! I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. What I like about it is that it offers a genre that I love, suspense, and a style of film that I enjoy watching - films that take place in a school environment.

The storyline is about Analise (Inez Hubbard), a new girl at school, who has a very important secret. Her friends want to find out what the secret is and end up making tragedies happen.

I like that this film only lasts a few minutes and yet, I quickly managed to understand what it was about. The film is five minutes long and in the first two minutes, I managed to capture the message of the film. The camera work is very good. There is a scene that impressed me in this regard where one of Analise's friends is entering her house and I couldn't even notice the transition. The costumes are casual contemporary clothing, which are suitable for the story. The locations work well - both the school and Analise's home. The background music is essential to the film; in certain parts, such as when a friend is running to her house, the background music is frightening, which matches what the girl is feeling. The girls' performances are incredible. They are super natural. And they have great development too. The friends Ellie (Ellie Maxwell) and Florence (Arya Whitney) go from being suspicious to being frightened by Analise's secret throughout the film. Their performances in this change of thought are very perfect. The director of the film, Iris Taylor is actually a 12-year-old young film. She worked in collaboration with the Whole Life Learning Center classmates. My favorite part is where we discover Analise's secret. It definitely took me by surprise and I had never seen anything like it in any film. It is very creative and it makes me create crazy theories about this secret even now.

The film's message is, do not trust everyone you think you can trust.

I give Wick 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Anna Clara B., KIDS FIRST!

In this suspenseful drama-thriller 'Wick,' a young girl's life is inexplicably bound to a mysterious candle that, if extinguished, spells her doom- a deadly secret revealed when a disbelieving friend snuffs it out at a slumber party, inadvertently cursing herself to protect her own flickering flame or face the same fate.
