For some weird reason I just kept putting it off hearing people saying how great this movie is, I thought, I'd watch it when I'm actually in a mood and I felt like I should be prepared or something. So, I finally watched it today and while watching it I thought to myself that it couldn't possibly become more pretentious but it does. I wanted so much to like this movie but how it actually turned out, it just doesn't do for me, I'm afraid. It has everything it needs to become a good horror film, starting with gorgeous cinematography, a creepy cult, eerie soundtracks and spooky imageries, and a good setup but everything falls short for its incessant self-indulgence. This movie had so much potential, I honestly don't know exactly what the director was trying to convey and I don't know what I was expecting either but this certainly could've been better. I guess, my expectations got a little too high, as it's from the same guy who made Hereditary which I think is absolutely amazing, but this film turned out to be rather disappointing. Well, as disappointed as I am, I still think it's a beautiful-looking film and Florence Pugh is amazing in it.
