One of the films where the trailer is rather better

Rating: 3/10 (27 May 2016)

I'm not going to say much about this film beyond that the trailer misrepresented it. We were expecting a scary movie. It isn't. At all. For that dishonesty, it really deserves one out of ten.
But, as a period piece and a reasonably well done depiction of an isolated family falling victim to their silly superstitions, it is a better prospect altogether.
I don't understand why people didn't understand the dialogue - unless they aren't native English speakers. It was simple stuff, a tad King James Bible-ish, and no-doubt fairly authentic for the period in which the film is set.
Oh, before I forget. Letting the screen go blank, for several seconds, every few minutes is a trick which went out of fashion in the 1920s. It doesn't achieve anything nowadays.
I read a comment which said that people who mark this film down obviously don't know anything about the horror genre. I suggest, instead, that the people who know nothing of the horror genre are those who made the film.
Perhaps three from ten is overly generous.
