Wow, what did I just watch? It's really hard to explain what's going on until the last few minutes, and even then you still feel like you don't really get the whole story. This movie is about sin and what to do to "make things right". However, there is a long way to the resolution with many loose ends to tie up, which eventually happens. So please be patient as this is a slow burner for sure.

The acting is top notch. Haven't seen such a good performance in a long time. Robert Patrick, Nick Stahl, Scott Haze and Kelli Garner do a fantastic job of making everything as unsettling as possible.

This is a dark strange unsettling masterpiece that deserves a much higher rating!

Let me just start off by saying I'm a horror movie fanatic. I love horror and have been watching them since the under counter nasties of the mid 80s. Not many I haven't seen.

This is good, really very good the actings superb, it's wonderfully dark and deals with extremely taboo subjects and interweaves them into a beautifully crafted movie.

It wonderfully builds its characters throughout it's entirety until bringing them to a crescendo in the final scenes.

Really haven't enjoyed a movie so much since hereditary. It's up there with that, though slightly more subtle with it's paranormal undertones. Love it.

This movie is probably one of Shudder's better film productions. Some aspects in this movie make you cringe (without spoiling), like a lot of incest related issues. That's not all though. The whole family was bats**it crazy.

The entire family that lived on that farm has a horrible thing(s) that they've done and as the movie plays out, you get to know more and more.

I really liked how this film presented both the past and current lives of the siblings. It made you actually care about what is going on. It only shows glimpses of the past for each sibling when their introduced. I think this is because... well, they're traumatized. You see little bits of messed up images until it all comes together in the end.

I think they did an awesome job on the movie. It had great dialogue and the cinematography was pretty damn well done. The camera shootings were great. It was an actual good folk horror story, with an ACTUAL good story.

Definitely worth a watch. I would recommend it if you like logic and realism in your horror views.

This one ended up being better than I thought it was going to be from first impression. This twisted family-drama thriller with a sprinkle of horror is set up in almost an anthology format, which I found interesting because the way they executed it, it felt different and somewhat fresh.

Chapter one was a tad confusing, felt like it moved very fast and didn't really draw me in. There was a lot of yelling and it became grating after a bit. Despite that, the acting was good from both the dad and the son, but I wasn't convinced as a whole. There were also some scenes that felt superfluous and were in there for shock/cringe value. I wish I could put my finger on it but it was my least favorite of all of them, but not necessarily unsuccessful.

I would encourage you to stick with it cause chapter two was when I started to enjoy myself. This had the best acting of the lot with the brother Eli really shining. I also found this to be the most interesting and engaging of the three sibling's stories.

Chapter three (the sister) and chapter 4 (the finale) blended together a little. The sisters backstory was... fine. She had me up and down with her acting. There were times when I was right there with her, and then she would throw me off with an odd delivery or a bitting of the lip. Regardless, I do think she did a good job overall. Also, it was nice to see Tony Hale do something different, good job.

The finale felt, very that... a finale. There were some (while not wildly original) fun and moderately unexpected twists and turns. It got exciting and I wish that had lasted a tad longer. With THAT being said, this movie did NOT need to be any longer... haha. The run time of two hours was a tad excessive and I think it would have been much more successful if it was trimmed down and more concise.

Some general observations... the movie looked very nice and professional, with a nice quality and some cool shots. I was hot and cold with the score. Sometimes I thought there were cool choices made and other times I was like can you turn that noise down or off it's distracting lol. Also I felt the script/ dialogue was a tad underdeveloped and sounded a bit juvenile/cliche at times.

As I said, over all I ended up liking this one more than I thought I would. You will definitely need some patience and be forgiving of some missteps but in total I found it to be an enjoyable experience with some spookiness, some thrills, some twists and turns, and some solid performances. Would recommend.

First up, I know this movie won't be to everyone's taste. It is a real slow burn, and the movie is a Drama/Thriller rather than horror.

Having said that, the acting is bordering on faultless for the four main characters, and the writing is top notch.

It is split into four parts, the first three following the three children, then the last part is the reunion. I don't think I'm giving away a plot point here, but the mother commits suicide and the family fractures. The father dominates one of his sons, but the other two move away.

It's hard to say too much else without giving away any anything, but. Despite its early disparity, it all comes together at the end. Sort of.

This movie was twisted. Hard to watch and hard to stop watching. Without revealing any spoilers; this film visits some disturbing life potentials that most of us aren't exposed to but , unfortunately, we have known people who are. The dynamics across father, son, siblings....in a whacked out environment. Not really a horror film. More of a psychological thriller / drama.

Don't Really know how I feel after watching this. I think it's better than average. But, this is a strange flick. If you decide to watch it, allow yourself extra time to watch something else afterwards as I don't think you want to go to sleep thinking about this one. It's just weird.

This was one of those movies that you felt it went on forever and it did! Also a bit confusing at the end but whatever. I promise if you watch this you will regret it because the characters were forgettable, the story to strange to follow along with, and it was too slow!

A savage slice of southern gothic is an expertly concocted slow-burn, brimming with unease and dread.

It's true that the film is more noir like drama than straight up horror, which sadly means that the jumpscare crowd will probably downvote it excessively. I truly can't comprehend how horrorfans don't seem more open to embrace the various subgenres the films of fright has to offer - jumpscares, gore, slow-burn or whatever - as long as the product is competently made, what's the difference. Try reading a few reviews first to get a feel for the material and maybe you won't feel so cheated.

Grim, bleak and utterly captivating, topped off by a pitchblack ending.

Hell I loved this film.

This is probably the best horror movie since HEREDITARY. It's difficult to categorize it though, because it is not purely horror. It's a horror/thriller/mystery and crime drama too. A multiple genre movie and the combination is successfful.

It's divided in three parts. The first part is not as good as the second and the third. Second part is my favorite. At the final part, some questions are answered but still this looked like an "open to interpretation" movie. I don't like much ambiguous movies, however, i did a research in Reddit and i think that i realised what happened here.

I suggest to watch this movie without reading any review, without knowing anything about the plot. It's very interesting, dark, bleak and well structured, like fine literature ( Maybe Joyce Carol Oates, Gillian Flynn, Cormac McCarthy influenced the writers). There are no cheap jump scares here, no serial killers with axes/chainsaws, no demons except the inner demons. This is not a movie for teenagers, some emotional maturity is required for appreciating it. Doom and gloom as it gets but still not overdramatic or excessive.

Every actor here is amazing, but Nick Stahl is excellent, primus inter pares. It's not a flawless movie but the flaws are not worth mentioning, just some details.

No pun intended - actually for a low budget movie this is really well made. Of course we know that nowadays with technology advanced the way it is, it may be easier to make something look good ... or better than it was 5 to 10 years ago. Also this has quite the stellar cast - people you might have seen in a lot of other stuff - mostly low budget, but also in the Terminator franchise. More than one to be more exact.

The effects also work in favor of the story, even if there may be a few too many ... or they feel like they are being used too often. Still we get into crazy minds (there's no other way to put it) and the story is more than interesting too ... so if you like different/twisted ... well this is something to look out for!

The good; beautifully photographed. It looks the part. I really appreciate that. The actors are acting well. But...

The bad: this story just doesnt want to get thrilling. The opposite is the case: I got bored halfway through.

Horror? What horror? Some horror elements are present but that doesnt make this a horror movie at all. It's the opposite of horror: boredom.

First of all, sinister ambience (which weren't even that many scenes), good acting and ominous soundtrack does not make a film a horror film. This film is anything but horror.

Yes, there are certain scenes that some people could find quite disturbing but, it's pretty unlikely that they will scare the hell out of you or cause you to sleep with the lights on at night. That's what a REAL horror film does to you and this film is nowhere near it.

Second, I didn't like the way it was shot as if it was an anthology. Especially the second part felt superfluous and could be cut almost entirely which could solve the lengthy running time of this flick. Two hours is unnecessarily long for this type of film and it shows especially at the halfway mark it just drags on and on.

Third, the characters were neither interesting nor relatable for me. I wasn't invested in anyone so, I really didn't care about what happened to any of them which took away the suspense and that's the last thing you want to happen to your audience as a director.

Lastly, I feel like many writers and directors don't really understand the horror genre at all and therefore they're clueless about what the audience expects from them.

Streaming networks know what's going on but you can't really market everything suspense/drama and keep subscribers so, they started slapping "Horror" almost under every new title just to be on the safe side.

This is starting to become a trend, calling films "Horror" that actually have nothing or very little to do with it and it's really starting to get on my nerves. I hope they stop doing that or horror film sales will take a nose dive pretty soon.

Overall, if you are in the mood for a really scary flick, don't be tricked by the fabricated hype because this ain't it. But if you have nothing else to do and want to watch something that'll help you sleep then go ahead and watch it. This film is so slow and boring, I bet it could cure your insomnia.

What Josiah Saw is a strongly engaging horror-drama film that invokes particular emotions over family trauma and grief- whilst it is not the most scariest of these types of films, it does rustle up some hairs and creates a sense of morbidity.

It's a good film with intervals that intertwine into a coherent plot that can be somewhat filled in through the viewer's minds. Of course, it is not perfect by any means of the imagination, but it's pretty good as a long horror film that can be throughly enjoyed for the context.

While I have particular complaints, I believe there were some missing pieces to a much more complex story than what we were given on screen, and it can be noticeable at certain scenes themselves.

All in all, I could recommend the movie to most avid horror fans but I do however feel that it should be stated there isn't much scare here as there is interest and curiosity, and that's not always a bad thing.

Psychological, socalled horror wuzz, the musical score tells the story better than the director, and the lightmaster has forgotten all about lightsettings learnt at the filmacademy. Its a grey and dark and rather twisted fable about madness and greed, in a sort of anthology storytelling, but was i ever horrored? Not so much by the acts, more from the enervating mind screwing whistling musical score. So when the light is low, its hard for the headphotographer to maintain a high quality of shooting pictures, the stock used in daylight is a delight the rest succumbs in the mist of how will i knowness.

A film that i will dedicate to the headwrestling critics and the guild of psychiatrist and other headdoctors, for the grumpy old man it was too slow too long and am still mystified by the story.

At first it felt so disconnected I thought it was an anthology instead of a movie. It got a little better but not enough where I'd recommend it or watch it again.

Outstanding. An true example of the notion that horror as a genre can be as meaningful and thought-provoking as any other. Incredibly disappointed to see reviews denouncing the movie for its length or lack of jump scares. Watched it over a week ago and have been thinking about it every day since. A must see for any believer in the idea that horror can be an art form. Acting and cinematography worthy of any Hollywood blockbuster. A must watch for any horror aficionado. I truly do not understand how any viewer could challenge the suggestion that this is a horror film - it instigated and cultivates a sense of dread and despair more as good as (or, in fact, better) any mainstream release of the last two or so decades.

Ok, so it's a family drama first of all. I don't know why this movie is being touted as a horror film, maybe because I'm horrified that I sat through the whole damn thing only to say that the "twist" has been done before- with less boring and quite frankly tiring build up. Yes, it's well made, but the ending didn't justify the bloody long journey to get there. The "horror " element will shock and appal those who live under a nice, comfortable rock. Everyone else will let out a resounding MEH and wish they tuned into something else. I really didn't find this movie particularly original or entertaining.

The individual chapters would have made interesting films on there own. My favorite sequence was with Nick Stahl and Jake Webber. Both gave excellent performances. All involved really performed well. The score was really appropriate and provided that feeling of dread and tension. Please stick with the film it takes a little time to get going but a real payoff will be enjoyed with this Gem. I do hope more folks get to see it. The film deserves a much higher rating ignore the haters.

This film is well shot and well acted, but the story just seemed like a jumble of cookie cutter horror tropes, mashed together into an uninspired package that tries and fails to be poetic and meaningful. It's worth a watch, but don't expect too much.
