It’s all atmosphere and visuals - but what it does it does extremely well. Quite enveloping!
C’est fantastique
I think my knowledge on Irish folklore meant it didn't hit as hard for me. Interesting psychological horror, albeit with a plot-ignorant protag (otherwise chunks of this just wouldn't happen i think)
I loved this. Despite treading on a well worn path of folk horror, this manages to stand on its own and have plenty of chilling imagery. It never goes OTT and the subtlety of the imagery is what makes this.
apparently Irish folklore is the equivalent of taking a sleeping pill. took me 4 days to finish this snoozefest.
