I couldn't get into The Witch, and I haven't seen Hereditary yet. So I went into watching this movie with no expectations. It is, as some say, a slow burn. But for me, they threw in scenes that broke the monotony. So I wasn't bored, or irritated. Never really got me to that point. It does have some pretty good creep moments. I think Gerard did a pretty good job with her Lizzy character. One of the things I did like, which many movies of this genre don't do, is that the lead character Lizzy did the things many of us would have in her position, in most of her situations. Which left me thinking, "Ya! That's right! Glad you did that Lizzy!". lol
I wasn't too keen on the ending though. Not a fan of the, "You take away what you will from it, and make your own decision" mentality. It could go either way or both. And that's what's annoying for me. No closure. Had they made a better definitive ending, I'd have given this a at least a 7. But instead, it gets a generous 6.
