A decently entertaining first two acts are ruined by a terrible third act. It makes the whole movie pointless and everything is left unexplained and unanswered.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think the biggest problem is that the writers had no idea what type of horror movie they were making and never really resolved it: it's an ineffective ghost/haunting film, hints at being a film about a mentally ill neighbour, but ends up just being an ineffective implacable serial killer film. There's also plenty of elements which are introduced, have no effect on the story and then fade away e.g. Martha. Expand

This doesn't even fall under the so bad it's good category. About thirty minutes into the movie, I found myself looking for something to do to keep me entertained because it was a lot of terrible dialog with nothing happening. I then attempted to force myself to focus on the movie (an action which I know regret) only to get even more terrible dialog with nothing happening. I think this was supposed to fall under the horror or suspense category but at no point did I find the movie scary or care enough to feel suspense, and that's the worst sin here, I didn't feel anything, especially entertained. Stay away at all costs. Expand

I would like to add spoilers to this review, but the problem is that I couldn't call it a 'spoiler' – a spoiler would allude to the fact that I would be ruining something, which would be impossible.

Netflix, what were you thinking?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. it gets a 6 for the genre from me though i wouldn't want to be home alone while watching it again.not because it was too scary but because it was too boring.. I did however love the originality and the hot mom and all that. as well as the way it pretty much ended in the part of the basement that was really the scariest part of the house if you ask me. i like the way that the guy was so sneaky and elderly woman so scary and the way the black guys death was extra creepy but the shivering kid was just overkill or annoying to shiver for that long and who would blindly walk around a creepy house instead of protecting your mom from dying? bit of a tip of the hat to the prisoners search party scene at the end there. its almost like the guy was teaching the kid to be a better runner..

A cheap looking film that not only is boring, is completely devoid of suspense even though that is its demographic.

Another cheap shot by Netflix, another crap film to its catalogue.

The creators of this film apparently thought it was clever or cute to give the film no ending. Every single plot point of note - most notably, who the killer is - is unanswered at film's end.
A true waste of 90 minutes. Churning

I like the main character from 13 reasons why, and this movie completely had promise, even though it wasn't about anything paranormal. Without ruining it, all I will say is the ending was absolutely ridiculous, and there's no way it could be set up for a sequel, because what would it have? A new unsuspected family that basically gets, well you know what for no reason? And what happened to the mother? Um... That was a little much. I mean I could see if this was a part of the SAW series, but this was just ridiculous. There was zero closure, more questions are left than answers. Anybody that has given this a ten obviously works for netflix and it trying to have this thing look better than it is.. because honestly it's bad.. I made an account just to review this movie.. Whoever wrote this should honestly be embarrassed. It's so true, for how many red-herrings there were you would think one of them would of mattered? But nope, basically it builds on characters that have absolutely NOTHING to do with the outcome. The outcome leaves a really, really, really bad taste in your mouth. Save yourself an hour and a half and pass on this one. Expand

Seeing the trailer had me excited to watch this , while it started off well, with jump scares that worked , as a viewer you already know this is not a haunting but something else, it's the something else that leaves you asking what the heck is going on and why? People other than potential buyers have extra interest in the house that is never explained creating a mystery with no answers. The Mother & son go through a lot of repetitive & stupid moments. The last 25 minutes the story amps up but fails to the bitter end leaving the viewer with a feeling of what was the point of this in the first place?? moment. Netflix is a pay for view service and frankly their movies are a joke. Very disappointing movie that had great potential. Expand

With the exception of Piercey Dalton as Naomi, the acting is bad, especially by the star, Dylan Minnette, of 13 Reasons Why fame. There are some nice shots, but this, like all of the positives in this film, is overshadowed by the overall experience which is that of boredom and little scares. Expand
