Slow burn that was worth it in the end.

Rating: 9/10 (20 June 2018)

Well executed, atmospheric slow burn horror film with superb acting. I think it will go down as a classic with some memorable scenes I'm still thinking about. That being said, I do agree with the film's haters on the following:
1. The marketing for the movie is over-hyped.
2. The marketing for the film was misleading to cater to the jump-scare teen crowd.
3. The middle of the film began to drag on a little, which is why I knocked a star off on my review.
Without revealing anything, I'm not sure why there's a lot of hate for the film's ending other than it's somewhat non-traditional but also not unheard of in horror films, especially horror of the 70s. The mouth-breathers who gave the movie one star for being "artsy-fartsy" might be better off saving their money for the millionth Conjuring or Saw movie next time.
