I took the word of someone on just going into this movie not knowing what it was about. Welp... I dislike this movie very much. Not to say that the acting wasn't good. They hit their marks very well. Clearly a decently funded movie, but honestly this was not worth the amount of time that it was made into. The story could have been done in 30 to 45 minutes. Doubling it truly dragged it on longer than was needed.
A bit ridiculous, and zero point. Also I know you must keep a story going but they way they propelled this story foward was absurd. These are two elders holding you hostage, kick this old lady out the way and let's go.
First act is interesting and I really expected this to be a 6/10 movie but it falls apart after roughly 45 minutes. I understand what were they going for with the atmosphere and the soundtrack etc. And it would've worked! If there was a better story/execution.
Protagonists have a very strange relationship which isn't elaborated on a lot so they're not likable as a couple at all. Despite that, I found myself liking them as individuals and rooting for them.
Grandma is creepy and the movie has that weird kind of aura all around but unfortunately it's not the good kind of weird since it leads to nothing in the end.
There was a lot of potential here. It's a common theme this year for directors to ruin horror films with second and third act for whatever reason. There were no memorable scenes or even good ones that I can recall.
Didn't like the ending.
Overall, it was somewhat interesting and I wasn't bored but it profoundly lacked layers of the story and most of all, decent scenes. 4/10.

If the director dropped all the art film oddity, this is a movie you've seen a million times before. Nothing new, nothing great. It is odd. Very odd. I suspect that is due as much to wanting to disguise it's formulaic nature as it is to directorial indulgence.
A really awful psychological horror yarn. A couple find themselves stranded at a remote farmhouse occupied by a crazy old lady and her weirdo son. Some tremendously poor editing scuppers this effort early on, and then it becomes apparent that there's very little story so that the whole thing starts to get laboured and overblown, pointless persisting to the non-climax.
