Great Film overall

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

For me, this movie was definitely about a fragile-minded girl feeling desperately alone... and taking to the extremes, what she was willing to do in order to not feel like that anymore. Loneliness and fear can posses us, just like demons. They can drive us crazy. This horror movie is a slow-burner and definitely not for everyone. The idea behind it is very good and well played upon... I'm just not really sure that it needs the gory parts to be this explicit. It felt a lot like gratuitous gore. Or maybe it just seemed much too real and grotesque... more like real-life murders, than a movie. So what would You be willing to do, in order to not feel alone alone anymore? Whose company would yo accept... and, if the connection were lost, what would you be willing to do in order to reconnect?

Virtually no storyline, plenty of overlong "art" shots and obvious rips from actual horror flicks - all are predictable products of a writer who is also the director. In this scenario, nobody is available to challenge whether the artiste's vision is coherent, let alone interesting or entertaining. Tripe results.

The only reason someone would rate this fantastic film so low is because they have an incredibly low attention-span. Set in a bleak winter at an all-girls Catholic boarding school where two girls parents don't show up on time to pick the up for winter break, leaving the girls stranded at the school. What ensues is an immensely dark and moody story supplemented with another second story that intertwines with the main story perfectly, with a gut punching ending when the two stories reveal their similarities. Again, the film uses a slow increase in tension throughout most of the film, leading to one heck of an ending.While the films pacing is slow, it is incredibly creepy, well put-together, and increasingly tense. It uses a long build up to brutal ending and does so beautifully, the films ending was well worth the wait in my opinion, and the tense and long build up only made the ending more effective. Everything from the sound design, cinematography, color scheme, and direction are all superb and create and amazingly creepy story of innocence being defiled by evil itself, a wonderful second film for newbie director Oz Perkins, who's first film was an average at best horror film that was a Netflix exclusive.Over all a superb film that is only for the patient viewer.

The Blackcoats Daughter is a long awaited film that originally went by the name of "February" until its release. It's particularly odd how the film didn't make more noise with a wider release since it has all the ingredients to be a successful movie. It has young hip female actresses in Emma Roberts, Kiernan Shipka and Lucy Boyton who all played their roles really well and also demonic movies are still very popular among the masses. What the film brought to my attention is the chilling feeling of isolation in a cold climate. The setting of dead winter in rural Connecticut is an icy enough feeling but the dreadful mood by the actors and the dark lighting and atmosphere really portrayed the cold hopeless tone. It's a shame The Blackcoats Daughter went so far under the radar because it turned out to be a very solid flick that has the potential for reviewing.
