    Don't pay attention to the reviews and turn the lights off
    I am glad I went into this movie fairly blind and late at night. One of the best supernatural horror movies I have seen in years.

    It's dark, it's not your mainstream type horror film and it had me spooked for almost the duration of the movie. This is one of those movies that will stick with you for a few days after.

    Scott Cooper once again created a movie that really gets under your skin in more ways than one. This one had me reflecting on mythology and how some of these tales came to be over the years as a representation of the real life horrors so many people go thru in their childhood and carry through their life.

    Story needs more development
    I have to agree with one of the reviews here. It's written on 02.02.22 by a user name fxdx4. His/her review is spot on.

    The movie looks promising at first but despite good acting and good atmosphere it falls short. The script needed more work. It needs more development because the way it was done it's just basic and it doesn't pay off at the end.

    It's the basic idea we've seen million times before. Some mythological creature comes to life and moves from person to person in order to survive(while gruesomely eating and killing humans). The focus of the story is on the teacher and the student but the ending leaves you with an empty feeling. I think it was meant to be deeper than that and maybe they didn't know how to develop it further or maybe they were hoping for a sequel. Either way you don't get to find out what happened to them and that's disappointing. The movie was very slow paced and the authorities reaction were ridiculous and very unrealistic. Yes it's a small town but so what?! If you get bizarre cases like this you take some photos make some phone calls and bring in the big guns (you know, FBI or whatever). There was too much focus and depth to the characters to end this on a question mark. If you go that road you have to finish it and there was plenty of time to do it considering the very slow pace of the movie.

    So yes, while the acting is good and the atmosphere is dark and creepy the story falls short and that's a shame because there was potential for more than a mediocre horror movie we've seen many times before.
