ScaryFan88 – 7/10
“The atmosphere is top-notch, and Rory Kinnear's multiple performances are unsettlingly brilliant. It's not your typical jump-scare horror, but it gets under your skin. The ending left me with mixed feelings, but the journey was worth it.”
GoreHound – 5/10
“I appreciate what Garland tries to do, but the symbolism felt heavy-handed, and the pacing dragged in the middle. Some creepy moments, but the repetitive imagery lost its impact. Not a bad watch, but not the horror gem I hoped for.”
DarkMatters – 8/10
“This is a slow-burn nightmare that stayed with me for days. Jessie Buckley is phenomenal, and the way the film explores female vulnerability and gaslighting is deeply unsettling. The folk horror elements are subtle but effective. A must-watch for fans of intellectual horror.”
CinemaSage – 4/10
“It felt more like a pretentious art piece than a horror movie. The constant barrage of disturbing imagery without clear narrative purpose annoyed me. The acting was fine, but the story didn't resonate. I found it frustrating rather than scary.”
