Quite a decent movie, a proper well paced slow burn with really nice acting from all characters. Some lovely dark moments especially near the end with some side characters from earlier in the movie. Supernatural element is pulled off nicely. The secondary plot is pulled off really nicely as well. The monsters appear underwhelming at first until near the end where it gets even darker (with aforementioned side characters). To be frank about the moralities of the characters there appears to only be a few victims who are truly innocent of any wrongdoing leaving plenty of grey area for your decision. The only thing putting me off from leaving it as 8 stars is the sound effect used near the beginning for a jump scare. The ambience of the wind and old lady's creepy smile is already enough and removing the sound would add to the eerie quiet and creeping dread. A good note to have taken would have been from the intro to 1988 Scarecrows where the zoom in is devoid of any loud noises, just the ambience to fill you with creeping dread. Overall a decent movie with a particularly harrowing scene, especially in the scarecrow horror movie sub-genre.
