It's professional and distinct enough to be worth your time.

Rating: 7/10 (19 April 2019)

Above average period chiller with a vivid sense of place and time where a family is trapped on all sides by the elements.
Not terribly accessible with its Jacobean dialogue (apparently its very authentic but I wouldn't know) and it almost gives the movie a comic tone but the substance shines through very disquietingly.
There's none of the bluntness and obnoxiousness that you might get in movies like The Conjuring, where sudden blasts of strings ruin what might have been a good reveal.
We just gradually find in god's country forces that appear to be unholy (see what I did there?), captured in an unrushed, flavoursome, culturally rich fashion.
Maybe it drags in parts but overall this was refreshing, especially its folksy yet chill music that uses a variety of neat instruments and is a long way away from the blandly generic scores we're used to.
