"What an odd film with a top notch cast. It reminded me of Longlegs which was another odd one. These types of avant-garde horror movies put whatever level fear you intend to have on you and i just really miss old fashioned jump scares and eery music. "

"Not sure what the hype is about. The premise intended strong direction, but the pacing kills the momentum, so much so that it seems like the movie never reaches its peak and then just finishes for the sake of ending -- which, by the way, I'm glad it did so I wouldn't have to keep watching it."

"One of the more unique blends of horror and comedy I've seen in recent years. The balance of sharp laughs with genuine frights, including at least three audible screams in my theater, shows how well the film executes both its humor and its scares. While some argue the dark comedy undercuts the suspense, I found the two elements worked in tandem. Where the movie stumbles is in the lore. The witch’s backstory and motives are intriguing, but the story raises so many questions and so few answers. With that being said, I'm a big fan of Cregger's aesthetics and style as a director. I'm looking forward to whatever he makes next!"

"How can you get scared and laugh at the same time? Finally a creative idea and story out. Hats off to Amy Madigan who was absolutely superb! I was hoping for a stronger role from Julia Garner but can I say ‘James’ was absolutely hilarious. While the ending was sort of abrupt, I didn’t care much. Loved it. Word of caution: never invite Aunt Gladys over again! "

"I genuinely was terrified during certain parts of this 😅 the way the story was told and broken up was perfect it was almost like a tease to the climax yes the hype is real one of the best horror movies of this year "

"It started really slow, you want to know what happened to those children. It was different but good. Perfect it is not, yet the acting was great. It felt weird, the anticipation of just wanted to know. Similar feel to Night Swim."

" Unique plot with a lot of bizarre happening in this film. Be prepared however, you won’t get answers but can overall place the explanation together. It was a great edge of your seat jump scare with some major cringe (in a good way) gore scenes!"

"Ok wow. That was a perfect ending to a seriously messed up, yet wildly entertaining story! "

"Pretty solid movie. Just as good as I thought it was. Definitely not where I thought it was gonna go but I'm not mad at it I guess. I'd buy this on Blu-ray."

"A pretty good mystery/horror that will give you plenty of food for thought and some great acting moments. A few decent jumpscares, but the suspenseful moments actually land, and youll be worried about more than just where the kids went. The characters are real and complex, none of them are necessarily the good guys, but you'll root for them nonetheless. I love the plot and all this has to offer about trauma, community impact, coping mechanisms that perpetuate more trauama and pain, addiction, and parasitic impulses. You could probably watch this 100 times and catch something new every time. I highly recommend this if you like to analyze psychological thrillers, and you'll still enjoy it if you just want a scary mystery movie."
