Not very scary or suspenseful - we were disappointed

Rating: 6/10 (20 February 2016)

We enjoyed the preview and looked forward to seeing this movie. Got our tickets, snacks, and good seats. The movie opened and set the stage quickly, and overall was well-paced. The cinematography was good, but scene cuts were rough at times. It was a good look at the rough lives of early settlers in New England and the difficulties in staying alive and raising a family outside the (relative) protection of a large settlement.
We hoped to enjoy a suspenseful, scary, non-slasher movie. Didn't deliver on what we wanted. We expected dramatic tension and suspense, and were disappointed. We were hoping for 'edge of your seat' and 'jumping out of your skin', but experienced neither.
