Wow, so many opinions all over the place about this film. Here are mine - it's a huge step up from Hereditary and goes towards fixing many of the problems I had with that movie, I defend the flawed romantic relationship which I believe is the heart at the center of everything and I do agree it goes on for far too long, but at least it gives us something new in the Horror genre which I believe is one of the hardest things to do right now. I think the whole film follows a deliberately fatalistic tone which is why we rarely see the characters win any small victories against the murderers and I also believe that the fact that they remain on site after witnessing the two violent deaths is meant to be purposefully satiric of the tolerant cultural stance they take as intellectuals.

Still, the movie never becomes as great and brilliant as its first 15 minutes or so.
