“The Wicked One” (*1/2 out of four) was a gory, one-note horror melodrama about a group of friends (Katie Stewart, Dale Miller, Jack Norman, and others) who travel on a weekend getaway and their plans are suddenly interrupted by a gruesome serial killer with an axe to grind. Plenty of gore and violence and also plenty of bad acting and dumb dialogue, and the killer’s terrible makeup and costume is no help. It’s movies like these that make the original “Friday The 13th” look more like a classic every year.
