Like watching corn grow

Rating: 5/10 (4 December 2019)

If atmosphere is what you're after, however, I think you'll enjoy this piece. With great acting, excellent research into the background lore and Puritan beliefs, and very purposeful cinematography, this movie is truly blighted by it's ridiculous pacing. Lacking in any substantial scares, this is only horror in the broadest of terms, and as such cannot really afford the slow crawl at which the story progresses.
Sadly, slow and meandering is what this film is all about. No matter how you spin it, this movie does little to engage you into the story, preferring to catch your attention with bleak visuals and atmosphere. If the latter is what you're looking for, then by all means go ahead. The film does have merit, but not as a horror film, and not as a great story for the ages.
