While the premise may not have been anything groundbreaking as it resembles films and themes we've seen before, Sarah Snook delivers a sensational and captivating performance that is well worth it. An absolute joy to watch and definitely an actor to keep your eye on in the years to come as she continues to prove herself as one of the most talented actors of her generation. The cinematography is another strong point in this film with Australia playing an impressive part in the mise-en-scene. And hats off to the young Lily LaTorre for her eerie and dedicated performance. It may not be as fast paced of a film as a lot of moviegoers hope for but it offers ample space for the nuanced performances by our two leads.

What a disappointment. A good premise and an interesting first act that leads nowhere. A film that constantly revolves around the same thing, wrapped in a web that it can't unravel, becoming repetitive, unengaging, and predictable. Grief, trauma and a sense of guilt are big themes here and they proportionate some good scenes, but it becomes too much of the same, not justifying its duration at all.

Sarah Snook tries to swim against the tide, but even she becomes tiresome, having to go in circles in this story. To top it off, an ending that doesn't reward us for anything at all. This should have been good.

Yeah, it's an Australian film, with a significantly lower budget than anything Hollywood has to offer but the suggestion that it's not a real horror movie is both ignorant and shows the excessive level of gore and action needed for a brainless and desensitised generation.

It was more a thriller horror; but one that followed the likes of a more old school style.. slow build up (which a lot of people now don't have the patience to sit through), eeriness with some mild violence (rather than excessive blood and guts, just for the sake of it), and again, an obviously lower budget, though I felt the setting and style made it more creepy than expensive, clean film work.

Anyone who gave this a lot score clearly doesn't actually appreciate film.. they just need something loud and chaotic, to distract them from their boring reality.

What a waste of talent. It's just a silly stupid movie. It was definitely not horrifying, it was just in bad taste. There is a difference. I don't for a minute believe Elizabeth Moss was ever going to make this movie. I think they used that to snooker Sarah Snook into doing the movie and shame on them. I'm sure she was probably also enticed by it being made in her homeland and she was expecting a baby, I think, about that time or just had a baby so there was a lot going on as well as wrapping up "Succession". Anyway I look forward to her future work in worthy pieces.

Be smart. Don't get suckered into lesser works.

I usually like this kind of film and I wholeheartedly went into it since there were only 2 reviews at the time! If I had known that this film is so slow and makes you hoping something, just something please happen, I wouldn't have wasted my time! That's essentially how I feel , that I wasted my time! Even though I have to applaud the acting abilities of the main character and even her daughter the movie just stretched on and on. The film deals with the concept of something bad happened in the past but the main protagonist doesn't remember ( or does she?) We are made believe that the grand mother is evil ( but is she , really?) What role does the grand father play in all this? Without giving anything away there was not much horror and suspense, not enough to keep me from pausing and getting up several times to do chores ! The ending also is very disappointing! Overall the whole film feels spliced together with different people popping in and out at different times and having no impact on the story! I don't think it's worth watching but if you don't mind the slow pace go ahead!
