Yes, it is slow

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2018)

It is most definitely a slow burn. If you're not into that, you won't enjoy yourself. HOWEVER, if you're looking for a genuinely tense, uncomfortable, and brooding horror with one of the most shocking, devastating scenes ever put to film, this is for you. This movie isn't about "payoff." It has no intention of defined, comfortable conclusion. It is meant to linger with you. It is meant to be a gut punch. If you're looking for a mainstream horror a-la the conjuring/inside is (both of which I do thoroughly enjoy) this is NOT FOR YOU. If you're looking for a movie to fester deep inside you and have you leaving the theater feeling how you've never felt before, this is the movie. It's not about cheap thrills. It's not meant to make you jump a few times and then leave you alone. It is meant to stick with you. It is not meant to be a Hollywood, "feel good" move with a happy ending. It is BLEAK.
