I enjoyed it. I could have loved it more without the Celtic cult nonsense because it was very cliché to me. I think this film is a pretty good horror film for those of us older than 50+. Being forgotten in a place like that home, gradually losing your memory and then to add insult to injury, being mistreated during the golden years is truly a horror. I really loved it the kid for sticking by Judith, his grandmother when even Judith's daughter wrote her off.
I thought Barbara Hershey performance was excellent. I particularly like how they aged her gradually as the movie progressed with makeup. I didn't see it initially until much later in the film because it was so very subtle and the scenes get dimmer and darker and harder to see.
I also like to mention the lady that shared a room with Barbara Hershey. I am not sure if her name is Michele Hart? But her performance was probably the most convincing of them all. I cringed at the way the nurses manhandled her. I think some people my overlook her performance because she is a side character in the film. But I would say that her acting performance was Academy worthy. Yeah I know, this is a Blumhouse horror flick and the Academy dismisses horror films regularly, but she was very good. For those of us who have or had loved ones in a convalescent home, then you will know how real she made that place feel.
