This is a good movie, but it isn't scary. This is a drama about trauma, loss, mental illness, and how religion preys on the troubled and vulnerable. It's still definitely worth a watch, but bring some caffeine; if you watch it while cozy in the dark, you'll probably doze off a bit.
this movie is incredible! well paced. creepy. never a dull moment!
I thought this was great!
Jewish folklore is always kinda creepy.
Good yet somehow disappointing. They didn’t show enough of the monster and didn’t develop around the monster enough. It was kind of more like a thriller. Solid piece though and earned 4 skulls
