    • Trivia
      The tincture taken by Thomas throughout the first half of the movie is likely laudanum. Laudanum, or tincture of opium, is comprised of opium powder and alcohol. It is implied in the opening scene that his addiction is why he is thought to be dead prior to being located to help with his sister's rescue.

    Its a sin that this film did not get a theatrical release.
    I cannot believe there are any bad reviews for this film. I'll keep this brief.

    This film is an absolute gift for anyone who loves true horror. Much like The VVitch it is a beautifully acted and written period piece set in the early 1900's. The pacing is perfect, the tone is driving and rhythmic, never was there a point during this film where I was bored. The characters were fleshed out and easy to empathize with. Overall I thought this was fantastic. I think it's almost a waste that its a netflix film and did not get a theatrical release.

    Anyone who loves the idea of paganism, cults, religion without pandering to Christians (which is what The Conjuring does, even though I am a fan of those films), or period pieces will love this film. Do your self a favor and give it a chance.
