I saw this in the cinema when it came out. First thing that caught me, was the music. It was done brilliantly, in my opinion it really set the tone for the mood, what could happen, a sense of creeping dread and question. A sense that something is not right. I do not think there were any flaws with the music. It had me spellbound yet feeling very uncomfortable at the same time, from the get go. The story itself was interesting, leaving you wanting to know more, even though the uncomfortable feeling is there and you should probably turn away. There was a bit in the movie that I found to be predictable. However I found more to be of intrigue. There were some moments here and there in the film that we had a bit of joined laugh at in the cinema (that seemed to be intended by the script/acting), and another moment where we laughed because we were struck by the bizareness of what was happening on screen (I have no idea what kind of reaction the writers and director expected, I wonder how others reacted). I want to say more but really don't want to give anything away. All in all, I thought this was a good film. It was worth seeing for sure. The music was composed and performed incredibly, very unsettling. I think the actors were very good too, especially the villagers. The thing I'll note about this film is it has a slower pace to it (however by this I do not mean it was dragged out, at least this wasn't my personal experience). It is like a churning build up. If you are someone who likes movies with storylines pertaining to cults, you definitely need to check this film out.
