I’m gratified by how pathetic she is. I like that we are not romanticizing the love sick heroine who ruins lives in her attempt to get her magical brooding man. I sincerely like that we are subverting this.

Moth and her kid are incredibly unlikable which usually isn’t a deal breaker for me if the story is compelling enough. But her motives are also annoying. I’m gonna keep on chugging and hope for a twist that saves this cus I want to like it.

This is not horror. It’s not even uncanny. It feels more Greek mythology than Appalachian folk story. The story itself is fine. It’s doing semi interesting things with timelines and generational trauma. It’s just not doing what it said on the tin.

I’ve seen this repeatedly categorized as a horror. Is the horror in the room with us?
