User Reviews

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

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

Hell I loved this film.

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.

Seeing that this barely has had any audience I’m amazed how controversily it has been recieved in the reviews:

In my eyes the movie doesn’t qualify as a horror flick, but it is a pure bred thriller. For most it might be a little rough to enjoy the storyline, as we’re being dealt a missfit set of characters that are hard to empathize with. But it’s exactly their consistency therein, that make this movie a fantastic gut wrencher. All sibilings deal with their childhood trauma in a unique way, that in itself forms a picture that the viewer might be able to puzzle together before its penultimate conclusion.

I’m quite sure that most people will be surprised how good this movie actually is, therefore I recommend seeing it.

After each receives a strange letter, the children of a strained family reunite to help sell the family farmhouse and put their tragic background to rest, but the longer they stay the more they realize that keeping the past buried will put everyone around them in danger.

There wasn’t a whole lot to like here as there are some issues. Among the better qualities here is the film’s focus on stranged family relationships between everyone that adds a sense of dread to the proceedings. As we’re initially introduced to the two guys living on the farm with an antagonistic relationship between them, this sets the stage for the revelations to come later on once the other family members get together for their meetup and the darker secrets that are revealed. Seeing the way the other kids have turned out due to this later announcement which ties everything together as knowing what we do about the situation later on gives that context and clarity to how their lives have turned out including the one now involved with the criminals and the sister with her troubled marriage. There’s some energy to the revelation sequence since this has some chasing and brutal kills which gives this part of the film a different tone and ends up holding this up overall. However, the problem that emerges here is that none of this is remotely interesting or scary. The multifaceted structure, featuring the lives of the two on the farm before going into the second part with the convict getting his mission in order, is barely related to the genre at all. A tortured family drama involving a father verbally abusing his slow son or a chaotic crime thriller featuring a luckless convict caught up in debt trying to trick a girl away from her gypsy parents aren’t in the slightest bit scary, exciting or thrilling at all, keeping this one completely removed from any kind of genre activity for as long as it does. This is never dull at all, but with no focus on the genre conventions for nearly the entire time it’s easy to lose interest here, which is the main drawback to be had here with very little genre qualities present.

Rated Unrated/R: Violence and Graphic Language.

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.

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.

It took a while but Vincent Grashaw’s southern gothic thriller, What Josiah Saw, has finally settled down over at Shudder. The AMC streaming service acquired the flick and will stream it later this year in North America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. What Josiah Saw was one of my favorite films out of Fantasia last August. Building off of a harrowing performance from Robert Patrick, the thriller in four parts is a tense ride through funamentalist faith, mental health and addiction, and toxic family attachments. The less we say about it the better. After a brief hiatus in the new year What Josiah Saw still has its festival legs and will hit other festivals this month. We will keep you.

Deserves a much higher rating. I hope more people get to see it

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.
