About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a bleak, faith-testing medieval thriller with eerie village tension and bursts of violence, closer to dark drama than pure horror; Not for you if you need fast pacing or clear-cut answers like The Babadook.
Pros: grim medieval atmosphere; strong performances; tense mystery journey | Cons: uneven pacing; thin story for some; shaky style moments
