I turned it off after 40 minutes. I appreciate movies that use slower-pacing to build tension (No Country for Old Men comes to mind) but every scene in The Blackcoat's Daughter is glacial to the point of being parody while still not accomplishing much in the way of characterization or plot development.

Maybe one day I'll revisit it, because I see it recommended all the time.

I fully acknowledge that it's not a film for everyone. I loved the movie but my gf couldn't watch it for similar reasons you specify.

But if you do find yourself alone one dark night, and in the mood for something slow and brooding, I would suggest you give it another try.
