Watched this last Friday night with the wife and son. Disliked it quite a bit.
It was artsy, violent, gross, black and white (literally), square (literally), and a blending of drama / horror / fairy tale, set on a lighthouse island of the coast of Massachusetts in the 1890s. An era and locale that doesn't get a lot of film subject interest. Most movies set in the 1890s are westerns.
The critics gush over it; perhaps it deserves credit for being different. I found myself nodding off at times. It's an ugly, bleak looking movie about people without redeeming qualites.
