Atmospheric, drawn out, somewhat predictable horror.

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2019)

So it took me 3 viewings of this film. I think the pacing had something to do with that. I wasn't in the right mindset for a horror film this atmospheric. The trailers made it seem like this film would be sheer terror. However, much of the uneasiness comes from the music and the shots. The blood and gore in this was somewhat minimal. Nudity, yes but necessary? Not sure. We have little screen time with the actual coven. But despite the twins trying to "frame"
their older teenage sister, I guessed less than 1/2 way though the film that she would later become one, or was already one. The black goat was slightly predictable as the devil too. I appreciate this film's pacing, and most of the acting. At times I felt the performance was too restrained, but perhaps the filmmaker was trying to stay true to puritanical times. However, the mother was annoying to me and unfair. But I guess she was right in the end. Too bad she didn't live to see it.
