Cinequest: THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER

THE BLACKCOAT'S DAUGHTER
THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER

I was looking forward to the horror film The Blackcoat’s Daughter (recently retitled from February) because it stars Kiernan Shipka, whose work on Mad Men I admire.  Unfortunately, it soon became clear that the wooden dialogue and the plodding, contrived story reminded of the worst drive-in cinema of the early 1970s.  Easily the worst film at Cinequest 2016.  I walked out.
