OMG, I need a Silkwood shower after this. Creepy and icky. 2 stars for the slow burn beginning which actually held my interest where the hubby sees himself in old paintings as "The Visitor." In short, the hubby gets married and moves to his wife's childhood home from London after they lose a baby to start over. Biblical, plague like stuff starts to happen and people die. The town worships the hubby, and eventually he finds out he married his sister and she birthed their devil child so their bloodline could continue. Why? So the town could control the destiny (or demise) of the world. Incest and old people nearly naked in togas worshipping the devil? Nah, I'm good. This is a rare Blumhouse misfire. The first half is one movie (suspense) and the second is Rosemary's Baby done by an imitation of Ari Aster. Ewww.
Random thoughts: The female lead looked so much like Rachel McAdams it was distracting. And the male lead (from GoT) lacked the ooomph! Factor to pull off the role of an evil world leader. I liked him more as the put upon hubby in the first half of the film.
