How is this a horror movie?

Rating: 1/10 (21 February 2016)

I am not sure why this movie is getting such great reviews. It was entirely boring, mostly unintelligible, and not scary in the least. I get that it is set in 17th century New England, but the "This thou musteth come hither from yonder" made it impossible to follow. It is also painfully slow. There were so many times that it seemed to be building to something exciting, only to go completely nowhere. I so wanted to leave early, but just had to wait till the bitter end to see if there was a payoff. No such luck. No horror. No excitement. There was even one point towards the end of the film where the screen goes black for several seconds and I was hoping and praying it was over. It wasn't. The best part of the experience was when the credits started to roll. As soon as the credits started to roll, a woman in the audience said very loudly, "are you serious?". Priceless.
