8/10
What a darkly, chilling movie...

Warning: Spoilers
Brilliant performances by all involved.

Crispin Glover as Uncle Julian, was eerily calm, but disarmingly charming and the effect was disturbing.

Alexandra Daddario's character of Constance, was both, pitiful, loveable and yet...as Crispin Glover's Uncle Julian character... devastatingly creepy.

Watching her was almost like being privy to a dark secret something like if the Texas Chainsaw Massacre met Leave It To Beaver.

Such a lovely young woman...oh and by the way, she skins people alive, uses their bodies to fertilize her beautiful flower garden and the bones to grind for prize winning bread that wins the local garden club bake sale contest every year.

Yeah...expect to feel like that through the entire film.

An impending something...a pervasive dread that you just can't shake.

Like most eccentric families, they are tragic, and sympathy worthy but I wouldn't get within 10 feet of them.

I've never heard of the author, or the book, but this film was simply amazing.
