Such an amazing and original story. Very haunting. This movie inspired me to learn Irish on Duolingo. I'm not kidding.
Great folk horror that makes use of the Old Irish language for magical purposes. I wish that more English horror films made use of Old English (the English spoken between the 5th and 11th centuries) for incantations, charms and spells (many examples of which are documented in Old English literature), instead of the predictable and unimaginative use of Latin. The English actually converted to Christianity in the 7th century, two hundred years after the Irish, so it would make sense for English folk horror to make use of the Old English language in a similar way to what has been done with Old Irish in this film.
it was a lot better than I expected it to be it wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen but it was worth the time it took to watch it if you have the time to watch it cuz I have definitely seen a lot worse
Actually really enjoyed it! I can see why there are conflicting opinions - it’s definitely more of a slow-paced, story-driven ‘horror’ rather than a truly scary film.
Solid but I think it bite off more than it could chew and it shows in the dialogue, pacing, and when we get an info dump at the end.
