Death by Goat ?

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2016)

This movie certainly did receive a lot of love; 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. I found it quite a depressing story, where a family, banished from their community in pioneer America move out on their own to an isolated area and seem to be under constant threat of starvation. To make matters worse, they've moved into a witch's territory. Bad luck. So one way or the other, you know they're in deep s**t. This dysfunctional family of seven doesn't last very long, although they manage to partake in a lot of grief and infighting before their demise. I don't like seeing little kids getting yelled at and winding up dead. . . Oh yeah! And there's a killer goat, who also talks! Sheesh! The atmosphere, imagery and acting are all well done, but there really isn't enough of a story to make the film very intriguing
