Atmospheric folk horror that takes forever to go nowhere. Leaves a lot of its plot points unexplained and the whole thing seems created for a final joke-image that's just silly. Kudos to the animatronic rabbit, but this is just an utterly standard, dime-a-dozen folk horror with nearly no actual content to back up its runtime.
I mean, it's alright
Pacing was slow which is typical of folk-horror. The acting was stellar. There was a palpable sense of foreboding building an underwhelming climax. I dont mind slow-paced horrors if the ending pays off. This ending wasn't terrible, but expected. Still worth the watch.
More eerie and foreboding than out-and-out terrifying. If you like chilly English folk horror, this one's for you. Great sweaters.
