Makes that Demi Moore 'Scarlet Letter' look like 'Citizen Kane'

Rating: 2/10 (31 October 2018)

I'd waited to see this for a while and it was Film4's big Halloween night film, yet there was absolutely nothing scary or spooky about it - it was just pretentious and thunderingly dull.
Essentially it's the 1600's, a family has been shunned from their community (no explanation given for this), they move to the woods, everything sucks and the family bickers and moans while inexplicably dramatic music promises 'oh blimey, something bad's about to happen!' but there's nothing, things suck a bit more, the end.
It felt like someone with unmedicated ADD made it as there's so many things that seem to be leading somewhere but then they're abandoned. It ended pretty abruptly and it's almost like they chopped off the original ending or something.
If I'd paid to see it I'd have walked out and asked for my money back. Not seen something this terrible since 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe' (I reviewed that on here if you're keen to avoid another stinker)
