Movie was horrible, no life to it. Parts were too dark. Overall waste of time and money, the whole movie can pretty much be sum up in a few sentence.
This movie was great!!
Not a very good movie. I was not one bit scared. The ending was pathetic.
The end credit song is a hymn by Isaac Watts who lived during this era. It is called "Alas and did my Saviour Bleed." A movie depicting a fierce battle between good and evil. The devil's subtlety and craftiness in drawing souls to himself is beyond eerie in this film
I really enjoyed this film. I didn't have an issue with the accents or the old English, but I'm weird like that. The costumes were impeccable, the acting and the art direction were beautiful. I got progressively tense/scared as the film went on. I enjoyed the story line as the family fell apart/against each other. Truly creepy.
If you notice the reviews, every once and a while someone gives this movie 4 or 5 stars because of the intelligence behind the film. This should tell you something. The vast majority of people will not understand the sinister nature of this movie. If you understand the biblical aspect and puritan times it is set in you will see the brilliance.
Walked out
This movie was so much a waste of time and money. Very boring.
My husband and I enjoyed this but clearly not everyone in the theatre did, we heard some complaining on the way out. It seems very true to life for the time period they depict. The old English language was hard to decipher at times. Don't expect any cheap big thrills but a slow interesting descent into paranoia for the family to whom bizarre and unexplained events occur.
Good, scary and great acting! A smart horror movie for smart people. It's about time they came out with non conventional more movie. The bad reviews were made by your typical horror fans that have been dumbed down by popular horror movies. Go see the devil himself.....then decide.
