Not bad. I don't know whether its down to the marketing, word of mouth or expectations but I think the audience was expecting something really terrifying, and it's not that, but I don't think it's meant to be. It is unsettling with a tension throughout, more due to the accusations within, and isolation of, the family the story follows. It's extremely well made, has impressive attention to detail (although the anachronistic dialogue may be tough going for some, it was for the dipsticks behind us), has a great soundtrack and impressive performances from the small cast, Anya Taylor-Joy does great work as Thomasin the eldest daughter and centre of the film, Kate Dickie is excellent as the mother, but the real pleasure for me was seeing Ralph Ineson (Finchy in The Office) taking on a lead role. He's always stood out for me in bit part roles and I'm glad he's been offered something to really test his acting chops.
It's an effective psychological horror with nods to The Crucible, The Shining and Requiem and an impressive debut from the director.

Have you seen Goodnight Mommy yet? I haven't as I forgot to add the bloody subtitles, but it looks really good
