Very best movie i ever watch

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

For me, this movie was definitely about a fragile-minded girl feeling desperately alone... and taking to the extremes, what she was willing to do in order to not feel like that anymore. Loneliness and fear can posses us, just like demons. They can drive us crazy. This horror movie is a slow-burner and definitely not for everyone. The idea behind it is very good and well played upon... I'm just not really sure that it needs the gory parts to be this explicit. It felt a lot like gratuitous gore. Or maybe it just seemed much too real and grotesque... more like real-life murders, than a movie. So what would You be willing to do, in order to not feel alone alone anymore? Whose company would yo accept... and, if the connection were lost, what would you be willing to do in order to reconnect?

This director must've watched Pulp Fiction and the main thing that he took away from the experience was: "Non-linear storytelling is the bees knees guys!" Basically, the director focused so much on making this movie interesting to look at that he forgot he was supposed to be telling a story. It's really hard to feel a sense of dread or foreboding or to put yourself in a characters' shoes if you are spending the whole moving trying to figure out what order events take place in.I give it three stars because I think there was an interesting (if extremely simple) story somewhere in this over-edited mess. It has a lot of positives honestly, but it completely fails at storytelling and that's a dealbreaker.

Blackcoats daughter takes a familiar story about possession but elevates it with an amazing atmosphere, pacing (I will get to that later), eerie soundtrack and great performance by the actors!The soundtrack reminds me very much of the artist "The Haxan Cloak" who probably draws inspiration from movies just like this one. It uses a lot of "shrubbing" violins, deep, creeky, dark tones, never to loud or too silent and (needless to say no startling noises, which are simply the jump-scares of audio). The movie uses the soundtrack very efficiently, only in the beginning I thought once or twice, that it wasnt necessary or that it was unfitting for the scene.Im pretty sure many people will have a problem with the pacing, but it snaps in perfectly! For example, reaches the typical horror half-hour marks almost exactly on the minute. The way its shot may seem slow though. A characteristic I love! I enjoy horror with dark atmosphere instead of Gore or scares. Something that drew me into the story quickly, was the story-telling tecnique, its not straight-forward so that you can almost see the entire movie in your head, before actually finishing it, which keeps your interest up. But it also isnt told in a convoluted or abstract way, so at the end you wont have to scratch your head, although only if you payed attention.I could tell you a dozen more things I like about this movie, the only point where it lost me, was the story. Its not terrible, but with such a good build-up, I really hoped for a bigger purpose behind everything or simply a plot-twist. The movie has a definititive climax, yes but some tiny brick was missing to complete the walls of this eerie Prison

The Blackcoats Daughter is a long awaited film that originally went by the name of "February" until its release. It's particularly odd how the film didn't make more noise with a wider release since it has all the ingredients to be a successful movie. It has young hip female actresses in Emma Roberts, Kiernan Shipka and Lucy Boyton who all played their roles really well and also demonic movies are still very popular among the masses. What the film brought to my attention is the chilling feeling of isolation in a cold climate. The setting of dead winter in rural Connecticut is an icy enough feeling but the dreadful mood by the actors and the dark lighting and atmosphere really portrayed the cold hopeless tone. It's a shame The Blackcoats Daughter went so far under the radar because it turned out to be a very solid flick that has the potential for reviewing.
