What a disappointment, I expected a lot more considering all the positive reviews.

The problem for the majority of this movie unfortunately is the pacing. So much of it is build up and yet also just the day to day life stuff that doesn't help or impede the movie, it's just, there. It isnt until about an hour in that the movie and its "effects" actually start to occur. It really could have been so much more, and the whole ending just feels like they ran out of ideas where to go with it so they simply got rid of some characters to make it easier to end. Meh. It's a watch once or twice kind of film, not much in the way of long lasting collection.

"Stranger Things" (TV show)
"200 Cigarettes"
"Wet Hot American Summer"

The list goes on, but I More

By far, the SLOWEST horror film I've ever watched! Really don't waste the 95 mins it'll take to watch and be stupidly disappointed (stupidly, because you'll feel like an idiot for getting to the end of the film and realising you were being taken for one the whole time!). This film's writer/Director/ More

This one night changes everything for me.

Ti West seems destined to be one of those horror film directors who forever will polarise opinions. For those of us who love the slow burn approach and admire his evident adoration of retro horror, then he hits the mark. Reference The House of the Devil a More
