Mixed bag.

Rating: 7/10 (29 February 2020)

This film has good and bad points, it deserves most of its praise but there are parts that hold it back.
The main issue is the pacing, at two and a half hours there has to be substance and a sustainable narrative. Sadly the film stretches a story which should be 45 minutes shorter. There are too many wasteful or drawn out scenes and it more frustrates than intrigues.
There other issue is its unoriginal storyline. The main set up feels like a slasher movie while the theme is very much The Wicker Man, from the surrealism and the ending, it all lifted from the 1973 classic. The predictable 'friends dying one at a time' didn't help either.
I still give this film 7/10 based on the fact that it is entertaining, the performances are very good, looks great and mood is quite unique for a modern horror. It is just a shame it could've been much better.
