Horrible movie, not a horror movie

Rating: 2/10 (20 August 2016)

Positives: decent acting (hence the 2 stars).
Negatives: everything else! Senseless paper-thin story; no character build up; pacing (i am all for a slow pacing in a good movie which is mainly to build up something, but this movie doesn't build or really goes anywhere and that at a very very slow pace); badly lite scenes - even the day-scenes (to make everything more dreary i guess); a music score that tries to build up tension where there is none; etcetera, etcetera...
Some reviewers see in this movie a time-piece story about a religious 17th century family having to deal with being outcast into nature and being faced with sexual tension with kids entering adulthood...others see a story about a young girl who wants to break with her puritan family to become a free spirited woman...duh, i think these reviewers saw a different movie or read it as a series of symbolic scenes...sorry to say but this flick is no Stanley Kubrick "2001, a space odyssey"!
Conclusion: not worthy of your money or time, the only thing you are left with after seeing this movie is what the f*** was that all about! If you want to see a decent psychological horror check out: The Haunting (1963), The Shining (1980) or Jacob's ladder (1990).
One thing i learned: apparently a 17th century male could build on his own with little or no tools a fancy 2 story house with brick fireplace + annex shed in the course of a few weeks in the middle of nowhere - eat your heart out all you survival diehards...i would have thought it was easier to just travel to another town/community..tss what a load of BS this movie!
