I wouldn't call this a horror movie, but I agree with your review otherwise. It was good enough to recommend and watch again, but I don't think a second viewing would add much to the experience. It was filmed concisely, which I liked. I didn't find myself creeped out or bothered at any point. I love these kinds of stories.
I do too, but the atmosphere was really something else on this one. The chain getups and the blindfolds were used to great effect as far as the blunt and visceral elements of the story go. It could be the juxtaposition to the really beautiful shots that makes it cut more deeply.

Spoiler for huh?:
I still don't understand how the guy that killed her mom was captured by Father. That entire scene confused the hell out of me. I was half asleep when I watched this, and rewound just to watch it again. It goes from Mother being beaten in the bathtub to Father shutting the door and just kinda staring. The next thing you know the guy is being dragged on a tarp into the barn.. Did I miss something?
Spoiler for .:
When the girl is initially caring for the killer, he has a lot of face wounds and she's picking glass out of them. I think the father bashed his head into the mirror and knocked him out.
