Torben E @Torben 6d 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 Brent G @bgillett86 Mar 9 Legitimately creepy and full of haunting atmosphere, Osgood Perkins directorial debut feature film may end up being the best horror film he will ever make. I had the pleasure of going into "The Blackcoats Daughter" not knowing anything about the story and I do believe that is the best way to watch it. The less you know the more troubling and rewarding the twists and turns are. See more Read all reviews
