Plot:A family forced to live in the woods is torn apart by the unknown evil that lies within the seemingly endless forest surrounding them.
One of the greatest films I have ever seen.
The horror is perfect. It escalates slowly though out the film until it hits a breaking point at the end. This is helped by some extremely uncomfortable moments, some which most horror movies wouldn’t have the balls to show. The horror is also helped by some extremely unique jumpscares. This is done by suddenly cutting from a scene with no sound to a scene with high sound, causing a very jarring effect in the viewer. Akin to the Conjuring, it has a jumpscare that completely subverts audiences expectations (Most cinephiles will know the scene I'm speaking of.
The cinematography is bleak, which perfectly matches the tone of the film.
The soundtrack is fantastic. It's only used to enhance the tension of intense scenes, and it works very well.
The acting, Oh God, the acting. Every actor in this film is perfect,the lines are delivered as if they were actually from the period The child acting is the most perfect you will ever see, the fact that a first time director got children to do a perfect performance honestly baffles me.
The best horror movie I have ever seen and currently the 10th greatest movie I have ever seen.
