I've been meaning to check this film out, what did you honestly think of it?
I'm a horror junkie and love most of the films with this sort of concept, but I'm still not sure if it would be worth purchasing, and I'm not too big on torrents anymore since I feel bad every time I do it.
It's very middling. The creature design and general tone and atmosphere are superb, but the acting is VERY shaky, particularly from the lead, it's predictable as fuck and in places it looks very cheap. Not even just televisual, like behind the scenes or home movie footage.
It's worth a look if you're massively into folk horror and have exhausted all the better pictures, but you'd be better off just grabbing one of the films this is a homage to if you've not. They've said themselves it draws a lot from the BBC M.R. James adaptations, and it's not even close to being as good as them. Stick "Whistle and I'll Come to You" or "A Warning to the Curious" on instead.
