The Blackcoat’s Daughter - 2016 - 6/10
AKA - February

Moody thriller, set in a Catholic girls school during winter break.
For two girls, parents are late or no-shows, but the cleaning staff will look after them.
Both girls are suffering a crisis, one of flesh, one of faith.
Meanwhile, one set of parents, approaching late at night, pick up female hitchhiker.
Like the two students, she also is deeply troubled.
The rest is atmosphere and underlying tension. Stray details coalesce, but they often slip past quietly.
Viewers who prefer visceral horror, screaming, chopping, jump scares, will find little here.
Fans of subliminal terror will enjoy much more.
