So, I feel like they leaned a bit hard on jump-scares to deliver the horror element. But the Wishing Willow is really just a vehicle for the plot, it's not important to the plot. The story is about male loneliness and youthful impatience and not being able to see past your own unhappiness to recognize the importance of other people.
And it's also about Inde Navarrette hitting it out of the fucking park with her acting.
Don't get hung up on the magical realism of the MacGuffin that kicks off the movie's 2nd Act. If you enjoy a good popcorn horror/thriller and don't mind liberal use of gross-out material, it's a stellar film.
Adding to this: the lighting work was fantastic. Lots of darkness and silhouettes really added to the creepiness.
