Viewing Notes

Missed this at Telluride Horror Show so caught up with it now. I love the haunting, creepy score and the cinematography. Kate Dickie (recently in THE NORTHMAN and THE GREEN KNIGHT but best known to me as the mother in THE VVITCH) is great as the protagonist’s mother.

The plot is interesting but the execution doesn’t quite deliver on its potential. Still an interesting watch but with some minor tweaking probably could have been better.
