sucks you into another world

Rating: 9/10 (23 March 2016)

I can see how the everyday horror fan would not like this. But, I completely loved this movie. I like horror, and I also like really good movies. This is an excellent movie that is a horrifying story. This movie does not give you any cheap jumps, is not gory, and is very slow paced. It also doesn't give you anything to laugh at, as a lot of horror movies do with their impossible and unbelievable situations. This in itself is unnerving. And I found it also very difficult to identify with the characters - an extremely puritanical family of 7 - leaving one just an observer of this strange foreign world and getting pulled into it, almost without realizing.
If you go into it with expectations, you'll find yourself impatient, looking for cheap thrills, and will end up disappointed - if you go with no expectations, and just sit and watch, you'll find yourself with your eyes and mouth wide open as the film slowly pulls you in and itself apart.
