Jack-o-lantern Rating:
4 out of 5 Jack-o-lanterns.
Consensus: Underneath the satanic and occult subject matter, this film honestly represents the fears of pregnancy and motherhood on top of the misogynistic isolation and gaslighting that occurs. Everything about this film was innovative and influential. It's visually stunning and atmospherically erie.
Highly recommended watch for horror and film afficionados alike!
