The Blackcoat’s Daughter
If there’s one word that sums up “The Blackcoat’s Daughter”, it is “wrong”. You feel like you’re looking at something you shouldn’t; even friendly conversations come across as prelude to the unspeakable. It’s also a puzzle that demands to be solved, and while there are plenty of bad films that obfuscate their narratives so the minds behind them can claim superiority over those who “don’t get it”, the twists here are easy to digest so long as you’re an attentive audience member as well as being satisfying answers to questions you’re no doubt asking of the film. Memorable and unsettling.
