You're definitely not wrong, and I will agree that the atmosphere and cinematography were really well done, but those bits didn't add up to a good movie for me.

I watched the film tonight and loved it. I could see this being an extremely memorable film, especially with that ending. Going to sit on it for a week or two and watch the director's cut (I bought the iTunes version).
I'm really surprised how many people gave the impression that this film is disturbingly gory. Whaaa? This was tame in the gore department. Maybe I'm just desensitized to this stuff.

my take was she was a 'village mystic' of sorts, which i guess they groom every generation via inbreeding. i got the impression most of her parts were cut from the script or even the full film cut

Finally got to see it. I was really excited after watching Hereditary, but while I think it was beautiful and very interesting, it wasn't scary at all. Just felt like a different angle on
