Worth watching but that said while it is my style of movie it just leaves you depressed more than feeling any horror or even a fear of madness. It’s somewhat interesting but there is nothing that expands beyond the basic concept.
The ambiance and heavy mood of this film captivated me, and I loved the experience if for nothing else. I'm not sure I picked upon every plot point or bit of lore by the end of it, I felt a bit lost on the takeaway. I plan on picking up the novel before giving this another watch.
I don't understand the hate this film gates. Atmospheric folk horror slow building to a hare-raising climax. Solid performances from a great cast.
Nice slow burn
An enjoyable enough folk/trauma horror story in the A24 style. Not particularly scary, though it certainly was unsettling, and the cast was great. Worth a watch if you like folk horror!
