Creepy but preachy

I agree with the other reviewer who slammed this movie (and Hollywood) for the rash of 'women are smart.... men are stupid' messaged movies. It certainly is that, starting right from the beginning - so arrogant as to assign 'she' to the moon itself... presumptuous nonsense.It takes away from the movie but in the end it is a period piece and not at all so hard to believe, and mostly well done. Its atmospheric and, especially the ending - pretty creepy, which is what I was hoping for, so sure coulda been better but overall I enjoyed it.

80 minutes felt longer

The positives - cinematography, the beast was well realised, Toby Stephens & Jodhi May munched through the scenery admirably. The negatives: slow between the gory interludes, there was no sense of the community as a 'real' entity, some performances were a tad wooden. The apparent cause was plausible but it wasn't clear if it was the actual cause. That matters less than the story being balanced between frights and plot. It wasn't.

It's a Metaphor for Social Justice... Again

If you like that - and if you do, you must be in movie heaven the last decade - you'll probably enjoy it. I say this because somehow no other review has mentioned it and I don't want anyone else who's looking for atmospheric, slow-burn, folk horror *without* a lecture about society's ills and how they're mostly men's fault, to spend money on it and be disappointed. Otherwise, enjoy.Ah, not enough characters. I don't have anything much to say (like the movie! Ha!) so I'm going to pad my review with this unnecessary filler (I'd say "like the movie" again, but that's debatable). I wonder if Amazon will give me a refund.
