I rented, paid £4.49, and watched this movie because of the high scores given on this app... I'm partial to a scary/horror film but 3/10 is all I could rate this. Its a "D" rate movie...
The movie in general is predictable and not tense or scary in the slightest. Not once did I even experience a "jump scare"! The acting is terrible and not all believable.
The storyline is painful to watch. I'll never watch this again and I don't think anyone should even give it a chance. Do yourself a favour and give this a skip. There's an hour and 45 minutes of my Sunday night I'll not be able to retrieve.

By gum, this is truly diabolical. Neil Marshall made a similarly-themed turkey a few years ago, yet this makes that seem like a bleedin' classic in comparison. No effort has been made here. Plot, acting, sets, wardrobes, dialogue, budget. One of the leads wears a terrible false beard throughout. Poor bugger, I felt for him because he seemed to show a bit more energy than the others; like a temp trying to get a perm job in the office. A well known newspaper suggested this was worth a go, but that rag's been going downhill too in recent years. I even paid for this on a streaming site, what was I thinking? I'm thinking I'll need to watch Captain Kronos again to erase this crud from my memory.
I went into this thinking it was going to be a run-of-the-mill horror movie, as I had seen no press for it before running across it on Amazon Prime. If you want to consider the way women historically been portrayed and treated, then yes, a bit horrifying to see it in play.
But I found it to be an intellectual, genre-bending new take. It's not a trifling hack-fest. It's an intriguing little mystery, a smidge of what-if, a refreshing period piece written for today's audience wrapped in a tale of a man's eternal love for his wife and the lengths he will go to protect his family.
The negative reviewers on here probably haven't capacity for nuance in film, and where there are many movies to better suit them, if you don't want to think a little, avoid for simpler matter.

Honestly?
1. As non native english speaker I'd know that in 1500 you would speak like thy/thou/etc , and not "what's up?". ESPECIALLY in England (dunno USA ).
2. Then come the effects. Sometimes reasonably good but never great (rather poor).
3. Actors' play is somewhat good but didn't make me fall of the chair.
4. Music... what music ?
5. Costumes bearable but NOT GREAT.
I could go on till I reach 20 or even 100 perhaps. But what's the point?
The movie I was so looking forward to (because of the trailer) seems to be great... Yes GREAT.
Disappointment.
Make yourself a favor and don't watch it.

Awful movie so utterly painful to watch.
Don't waste your time, you can tell this had a low budget, poor acting, poor, costumes, the set needed work as did everything else the cinematic experience is non existent.
Storyline was completely a miss, and so utterly so predicable.
I was totally sucked in by the high reviews, (really what elixirs are you all on) you're definitely all on something, it maybe worth getting my hands on some then perhaps I'd have enjoyed this movie just as much as you all claimed to have done.
DISSAPOINTED is an understatement.
Honestly find something else to watch.
