Lesser payoff than Hereditary, less disturbing than Anti-Christ

Rating: 5/10 (23 November 2019)

I either missed something or this movie was way overhyped in my experience. While the cinematography was good and the mood of the movie progressively disturbing, it never advanced the mood into proper Horror territory.
As I wrote in the title I kept waiting for a payoff like in Hereditary, though it never came. I kept thinking it was like Anti-Christ in tone, but more straight forward and unlike that movie the imagery never quite made me twist in discomfort or had me thinking about it afterwards. On top of that the movie felt very predictable.
In conclusion, the packaging is nice and contains some interesting ideas, but in terms of story build-up and climax, I found it very disappointing. So it will land a squarely average score.
