There's really not much to say about this film as it is an extremely mediocre and boring piece of supernatural horror. This thing is awful as a period piece and mediocre as a supernatural horror film. Some strong folk horror elements and bits of psychological horror quickly become a snooze fest due to poor storytelling. There are some decent moments peppered throughout like the creature looks decent as far as indie horror goes and the deaths are surprisingly gruesome, but as a whole this film rarely impresses on anything other than a mediocre level. I wasn’t overly emotionally invested either, since characters are a bit too one-dimensional and offer little to zero chemistry or charisma. Skip this and watch _The Cursed (2022)_ instead. That film captures the time period better, delivers on the dread, suspense, or horror much more effective, and the creature looks decent as well.

I only got about halfway through this one. It was so boring, and I really didn’t buy William Molesly as Poe. It just wasn’t compelling enough to keep watching.

Visually imaginative at times but the story is rarely as interesting as the dark imagery.

It’s not the greatest in the genre but if you’re into gothic folk horror, it’s worth a watch. Reminded me of 90s/00s BBC movies.
