I think there are plenty of horror films out there with jump scares and action, action, action to fulfill your needs if you want to turn off your brain and just take a roller-coaster ride. Thankfully too, there are films like Lore that present open ended conceptional horror. These are films have you question what really went on and come up with your own interpretation of events.
Unfortunately, films like this, "Kill List" and "The Void" will never be as popular because we've been conditioned to think that character conversations and endings that challenge your intellect are boring and weak storytelling, a common fault with American audiences who have been trained that films must follow a rigid "beat structure" to be any good. If Lore had been a European film, it certainly would have received much more attention.
If you like to think, give this film a shot.
