- magicalhippo 6y agoBoth me and my significant other found absolutely nothing about it scary, and were very underwhelmed by it all (it had a lot of cool shots and such though). Different strokes for different folks. It's been a while but I do remember enjoying Oculus[1] and The Blackcoat's Daughter[2]. My gf got so scared watching Session 9[3] that we had to sit there with the lights on for a while afterwards, though I haven't seen it in over a decade so maybe my memories of it are a bit rose-tinted.

- trimbo 6y agoThe Blackcoat's Daughter deserves wider recognition. Very good.
- cloakandswagger 6y agoI turned it off after 40 minutes. I appreciate movies that use slower-pacing to build tension (No Country for Old Men comes to mind) but every scene in The Blackcoat's Daughter is glacial to the point of being parody while still not accomplishing much in the way of characterization or plot development. Maybe one day I'll revisit it, because I see it recommended all the time.
- magicalhippo 6y agoI fully acknowledge that it's not a film for everyone. I loved the movie but my gf couldn't watch it for similar reasons you specify. But if you do find yourself alone one dark night, and in the mood for something slow and brooding, I would suggest you give it another try.
