Avoiding spoilers, I loved Joan's journey, her painful cries echoing that path of an addict, a person who has burned every bridge, bitten every helping hand, so far lost that even the familiarity of the addiction can no longer ease the ache. Perkins reach matched his grasp in The Blackcoat's Daughtrr and it was a harsh look into the abyss, frightening and awe-inspiring.

Dug it mostly for vibes (and honestly I could watch 90 minutes of Kiernan and Emma just furrowing their eyebrows), the plot itself ends up pretty nonsensical, and the script elides so much information in pursuit of (appreciated) ambiguity—and setting up some reveals that I think were probably evident much earlier than intended—that the whole thing feels kind of hollow and weightless. Like, I get what happened, but... why?

While the plot isn’t very ambitious, The Blackcoat’s Daughter (February) is a well acted and directed film with a good score. Although best viewed expected a slow burn dark drama instead of horror.

It's a slow and subdued film, but it's almost unbearably tense, building suspense through the gradual accumulation of detail, it's dark visual tone and a really wonderful score by writer-director Osgood Perkins's younger brother Elvis Perkins. I saw the film's final twist coming, but it still had quite an impact.

I genuinely think this is not trying to be an elevated horror or some shit, but just a shot at renovate the girls-only boarding school stuff. Three leads are awesome, acting more with their tense bodies to equally restrained shots than with the not so interesting script structure. Also, the suggestion that Don Draper's daughter is actually falling in love with the Devil is more powerful than the ritual itself -- dead people's heads as an offer to Satan near the basement's oven.

There was a lot to like here; the eerie style reminded me of Lost Highway -era Lynch. I respected the slow buildup which worked in the film's favor, making the ending quite brutal. I also thought Kiernan Shipka did a pretty good job and given the right material, she could do even better. The winter-y setting is also a plus. The script came a bit short though and could have used some more tweaking as it doesn't quite come together as well as it could. Still worth a watch for horror aficionados.

Starts dark and only gets darker. It's out there a little ways on the "odd" spectrum. A must watch if you're into indies or just really like watching these 2 ladies act. They do an amazing job.

Ticked quite a few boxes for me; slow and moody buildup, a soundtrack that's 50% ambient drones, effective cinematography with a good cast in dreary locations. Still, once you put everything together the plot kinda falls short, and jumping back and forth in time can't quite gloss over this aspect. But being low-key, slow-burn horror instead of jumpscare CGI shit was good enough for me at this point in (space)time.

A familiar possession/devil worship story anchored in heavy suspense and three exceedingly well-played characters. Those with a low tolerance for atmospheric horror and ambiguity will hate it, and to a certain degree, there may be some minute truth to claims that "nothing really happens," but the moodiness is so viscerally felt, and it harmonizes so perfectly with Shipka's unbelievably smart (and eerie) performance that I can overlook many of its issues common to other indie horror movies.

The approach of this film is refreshingly unusual. I wasn't quite sure what was going on at first, but stuck with it and am glad that I did. Like most great stories, less is often more and the viewer is left to interpret events and motivations. There are some nicely placed moments of misdirection and the climax occurs unexpectedly. All of the other components come together nicely to create a film that will linger in the viewer's mind.

I appreciate the pacing and shooting style. The lack of dialogue allowed for good tension and the music while overdone was appropriate without being too obnoxious. That said the movie was pretty obvious and the jumping around which was supposed to reveal mysteries were just drawing out things we already figured out.

Perkins masterfully creates an unnerving creepy environment in this all girl's boarding house. From the start you know something is off with the people in this setting but you just can't quite put your finger on it. There are layers upon layers of eerie and subtle visual details used to create this surreal atmosphere. It is a decidely flawed film but the dread and acting excels far beyond the usual horror genre schlock.

Catholic school girl-on-girl action so hardcore that you'll need an exorcism to cleanse your shorts by the time the ending credits roll. Yeah, the Blackcoat's Daughter is not actually anything like that description, but I like to imagine it was. I've been told I have a good imagination.
