I am pretty excited for this film! Reviews seem pretty strong, and it already has an 87% on Rotten Tomatoes (which is pretty great for a horror genre flick). Anyone else pumped for it?

Anyone check out this movie this past weekend? Did it open in the UK/European areas? It has an 88% as of now on RottenTomatoes.
I enjoyed the film. You really have to allow yourself to be immersed into the family. It's set in 1630, so the dialogue is not in standard American English (that was the biggest complaint for people not liking it.) I found the film to be unsettling. There were 2 parts in the movie where I just sat there, like I couldn't move. The music is so haunting too.
This is definitely not a movie for people expecting bumps in the night, or something around the corner to jump at you. It's the manifestation of what Puritans actually feared about witchcraft and witches (folklore), and it just so happens they live their fears.
