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.
