It had a lot of good scares, a nice thematic core, great acting, and it was legitimately Dantesque, which is rare in horror. A couple things that should be scary feel almost comical, but the scary ones are scary and the characterization is great. It's one of the most literary horror films I've seen in awhile, and does so while being warm and human instead of pretentious, like Saw's Existentialist and Artaud riffs.
