I thought it was scary but actually musical scary movie . Audio horror not visual there is no that much blood or something for the viewers of scary movie this isn t schocking. If I want an horror movie I d rather watch the american ones . This is an united kingdom one it s good beautiful landscapes beautiful images all movies in europe and so they focus on religious things to scare you that s the problem even UK isn t europe anymore .horror is made in america.

Every now and again you come across a film that you don't expect to be different to the norm, but this one kept me guessing throughout and was genuinely frightening at times. If you liked the Woman in Black or any of those Lighthouse keeper films then you are going to appreciate the haunted nature of landscape in this. Filmed on Mull, it probably did not cost a lot but stands up to most of the US-CGI type stuff you see these days. Loved Greta Scaachi and Kate Dickie's performances. Won't spoil it but well worth your time and thank you to the team that created it, will keep an eye out for more from this director.

After his adulterous wife dies in an accident, a grieving husband decides to take a job shepherding sheep on a remote island nearby to process the situation only to be tormented by a seemingly malicious spirit intent on unearthing a hidden truth about the incident. Overall, there's not much to this one. The fact that it manages to evoke a mysterious and generally eerie atmosphere here is about all that works as this one generates some impressive atmosphere due to the situation. The sense of isolation here with his physically being stranded on the remote island as well as mentally with the ghosts of his past rendering him incapable of anything other than taking a job on this island offers a fantastic building block to work The supernatural sequences off of. From strange behaviors by his dog forcing him to look around the house, eerie bowling in the distance that no one else can respond to or the strange discoveries around the island he keeps making, this one manages an effectively chilling scenario that may or may not be in his mind. However, while this creates a fantastic starting point the film never does much else with it. That's due to the dreary and depressing tone that carries on throughout here as the quiet, slow-burn setup keeps the overt scares away in favor of a more unnerving series of psychological mind games involving a person not ready to accept their fate. This offers up a highly puzzling setup that might not work for most out there which gets this one off to a rather underwhelming beginning point. Less troublesome but also detrimental is the somewhat overlong running time for this kind of genre effort which does make this one somewhat of a challenge to get through. Otherwise, these are the only flaws here. Rated R: Violence and Language.

I can't stand movies like this. Some people might like them, but they do nothing for me. So much abstract and metaphorical with no story or substance. Ridiculously boring with 95% of the movie having no dialogue and one character on screen. A couple of jump scares got me, otherwise none of the horror elements add any value. My only positives are the musical score and cinematography. But it didn't help much. This movie was difficult to get through and I'm so glad I didn't go watch it in the one theater that was playing it. (1 viewing, 5/15/2022)

Clearly quite a low budget film but i did quite enjoy it. Effects are quite good and scenery is spectacular. Not the best film i ever saw but certainly not the worst either.

From the very first frame, this movie oozes atmosphere. It seems effortless, but the people responsible for this movie want you to believe it is. But everything is so meticulously crafted, you start to wonder if any of it was really deliberate or if these people just got lucky. I mean, horror isn't exactly the first genre you think of when you think of movies being an art form, is it? As a huge stickler for cinematography, I truly believe that even the lamest, most boring film is made infinitely better if it is pretty to look at. This movie movie not only delivered, but exceeded all of my (albeit, low) expectations. Every single frame of this movie could stand alone as a framed photograph in an art exhibition, and it's not just the expansive shots of the various parts of Scotland and Wales that made it a joy to watch, it was also the way the camera itself was used to frame what transpired on screen. In ugly movies, the camera just sits there with no semblance of coordination or even a passing understanding of visual aesthetic (B-movies are the prime example of that). This movie felt like the whole visual team worked as a cohesive whole that understood that camera placement, framing and positioning are just as important at conveying what is going on in a given scene as the action itself. There aren't many horror films that do this effectively, and the ones that do are few and far between (The Witch, Hereditary,& Midsommar to name a few). This was just a breathtaking movie to watch for me, personally, and the visual team should be commended and given raises for the work they did on this film. That being said, the movie itself, while incredibly atmospheric and creepy as all get out, could have done more to push the boundaries of the story it was trying to tell. I felt that things could have gone further with the reasoning behind the actions taking place, but so much of it was left to ambiguity that it made for a less than satisfying ending. I wanted more of a definitive end to the story instead of one that was left to the imagination. The acting was stupendous, the score was effective and nerve wracking, and the length of the film was just right, telling an interesting story with a good pace for the duration of the film. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed by this film and while 2022 just started, it's one of the better films I've seen so far. I eagerly await this directors next film, and if this one is any indication, it can only get better from here.

Not sure if you would call this a real horror film. More thriller than anything. Great acting as its always difficult to carry a film on your own. It was mostly the shepherd the whole time. A bit disappointing at the end. Dont let that put you off its well worth the watch just for the haunting scenery.

Its depressing, boring, dull, lame, bland, confusing and overall just very very bad. There is no real plot. Its a complete waste of time. Its in fact so confusing and depressing to watch, that it takes out the very horror of the movie. If you want to waste your time, then watch this crap about a man on an island of the scottish coast, going insane. Utter crap.

Subtle nods to Shining and Hitchcock without over doing it. The sound and colouring is insanely good, so beautiful and eerie, the noise is uncomforting in the best way. Story is great, some twists and leaves questions which all good ones should. It's a ghost story, not a slasher, which makes it stand out.
