Jody C @JodyCazz 6d A bleak movie that keeps you confused and uncomfortable for most of the journey. I can say its one of the slowest burning of the horror genre but I did like the dark payoff of the film. I can absolutely see people being bored in the first half of this film. Most horror movies have a jumpscare or a creepy scene or a teaser to keep viewers engaged but this movie just lets you....simmer in the unease of its ambience. It can feel like it drags heavy in the beginning because of this. I like despair in a movie but I really think this movie could have done more with its scary scenes. No part of the movie scared me but certain parts did make me so very shifty in my seat. I just wish it made more use of the potential of its darkest scenes that if done better could have been extremely terrifying. Not a bad movie but not a great one either. If you like being uncomfortable and constantly guessing whats happening...this is for you! Scare Factor: 3/10. See more Torben E @Torben May 29 I'm not really shocked by the 52% Popcornmeter score. This horror movie is certainly not for everyone. It's a very smart movie, very atmospheric, dark, sinister...and really slow. The last-mentioned probably is a turn-off for most people. That's a real pity because this movie is such a small gem. Amazing acting, great atmosphere and then there's the constant sense of danger. It's also a very unsettling film because in the end, it is only partially a horror film...actually it is a lot about loneliness. If you are going to watch it, keep in mind that this movie won't explain everything to the audience...like most silly blockbusters do. There's a huge and very smart twist coming...but it takes a good amount of focus from the audience to understand it.

I give it a positive recognizing the quality but personally did not enjoy watching most of it and only got invested towards the end See more Jon R. @JuantheBaptist Apr 27 I appreciate what it was. Though I don’t think it lived up to the praise I see the movie get everywhere See more Ari S @Arisuley92 Apr 9 This movie is absolutely pretentious nonsense. It took an hour for something to even happen, the subtle nods before that are obvious and not scary at all. The pacing is this movie is absolutely terrible and boring, and the payoff was not only super obvious but insanely lame, absolute snooze fest. All these people saying it was amazing def. love pretentious, Artsy "horror" that goes absolutely nowhere. A creepy atmosphere doesn't save the abysmal script. See more Brant F @destroyfascism Mar 20 A deliberately paced horror with a deeply visceral, almost ataraxic dread, The Blackcoat’s Daughter carries a persistent patina of unease throughout. The acting is terrific, and while the finale takes a bit of mental gymnastics to fully parse, it ultimately reinforces the film’s haunting emotional core. A chilling early sign of Oz Perkins’ distinctive voice as a filmmaker. See more Read all reviews
