Good movie, but...

Rating: 7/10 (22 February 2016)

The great things about this movie are:

The acting. From the children to the parents, the acting was great, the dialogue is very believable.

The script. It's a good story all around, maybe could have been expanded slightly but it was still good.

The setting/visuals. The time it was set, and the location on the edge of the woods makes for a great horror movie.

One of the only problems with this movie is that it shouldn't really have been labeled a horror... although I'm not quite sure what would be a more accurate genre. Something psychological. Like "The Shining", but with much less of the scary/creepy visuals. (there are still some) It's more about a family's mental breakdown.
The other problem I had was that yes, it is a little hard to understand the characters sometimes. The dad is the worst. I had trouble in the beginning but if you devote a little more of your attention to what they're saying it should help.
My advice is, don't go in to it thinking you're seeing a run of the mill horror movie where your heart is pounding, wondering when the next jump scare is going to be. There's few, if any. (depending on how easily startled you are). Go in thinking you're going to see a well put together movie, with some psychological elements to it.
I was thinking about giving it an 8 because the acting, setting, and dialogue really blew me away, but, I gave it a 7 because I felt the ending could have been slightly better.
