8/10
Scary silver

"As silver is melted in a furnace, so you will be melted inside her, and you will know that I the LORD have poured out my wrath on you." - Ezekiel 22:22

Nowadays when I see a horror movie that doesn't have a lot of marketing into it, I usually have low expectation. This was my mindset coming into this movie, and I was wrong.

This 18th-century horror gave major A24 vibe. The atmosphere was similar to The Witch, with dreadful and bleak color. Sometimes I could barely see what's on the screen. The budget must have been low because there was never one single clear shot of the creature. However, the movie made up with interesting editing and smooth transition of the house that elevated the creepiness.

The story was decent, with nothing much out of the ordinary. However, they tried to spice up the story with some non-linear storytelling. Unfortunately, although I understood the purpose, I didn't find it that impactful.

Overall, an effective horror. 7.5-8/10.
