This was a violently disappointing film. After what I considered to be a horror masterpiece in The Witch, I was rather eagerly awaiting this period horror piece starring the unlikely duo of Willem Defoe and Robert Pattinson, and a mermaid. Unfortunately, I found it interminable.
It’s a movie too obsessed with its own weirdness to provide any payoff worth the viewer’s time. I found the writing to be overwrought and often incomprehensible. On the positive side, the two lead performances are quite good. Still, this movie pales in comparison to its predecessor.
