Unexpectedly Good
I never give away spoilers but the ending leaves a little to be desired. It's my guess that not everybody will agree with me on that. Still, it's one thing that affected my full enjoyment, hence the 4 stars.
I loved the choice of B&W. Again, others might disagree with me, but it's perfect for this. I'm not a BIG horror movie fan. I am a movie fan in general and I appreciate good films in any genre. The typical horror gore isn't what bothers me (it probably should...), but it's often just so "the FX team did a good [or bad] job on the gore" to me. The B&W here allowed the gore to be fairly extreme without it being phony FX-seeming and without it being puke-yuck too. In a way, the B&W allows you to experience the movie's fright with the obvious gore not getting in the way. I think that was brilliant.
This will be a horror film you remember for a long time given it's quality even if you're not a horror buff. The film effectively hits its obviously-intended mark.

Indie Horror : Giving the Fans SO Much More
I heard about this film on a podcast and thought, for the price that I couldn't go wrong. Boy, was I right. Beautifully shot, eerie tale about the effects of isolation. First time director Nicolas Pesce's quiet farmhouse depravity yarn will haunt you. Weighing in at a lean and mean 77 mins, there is not fat on this film AT ALL. Time passes and you realize you've been under a spell. Indie horror has been on a roll since the early 2000s and doesn't seem to be stopping. There is so much interesting and strange work out there that will surely become the new classics.

It's a small art house type horror movie
It's a slow movie but very disturbing from the beginning to end and does not take half the film to start enjoying like many other slow movies. The pace does not pick up speed later, so do not expect that. It's all in black and white, which is one of the highlights of this movie for me. Some scenes may not look as good as a high-budget movie, but overall, it looks and is very well made. There is relatively little gore and some viewers may find the themes in this film potentially disturbing. See it, if you are in the mood to see a little art house horror movie.
