Simply writing this off as a "NETFLIX film" does not excuse this atrocious mess that has been attempted to be passed off as a movie. This doesn't even fall under the so bad it's good category. About thirty minutes into the movie, I foundSimply writing this off as a "NETFLIX film" does not excuse this atrocious mess that has been attempted to be passed off as a movie. 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

One of the most cliche horror films ever. Another big miss for Netflix. .

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?

Incredibly awkward dialogue, screenplay and acting. It has some potential the first hour or so, but as someone else has mentioned it's ruined by one of the most stupid conclusions/endings I've seen. I won't spoil it, but it's not coherent with the rest of the plot at all and it's incredibly unrewarding and dumb. Watch it with a few friends for a laugh, but don't expect anything meanwhile.… Expand

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.

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

And there were a couple of 10 ratings for this. I understand people might have different tastes but seriously even they can't tie all the loose ends in this movie. It was just a 90 minute buildup to absolutely no freaking payoff. I still want to keep venting out but I guess you got my point. Don't even try just go re watch a few Friend's episodes.… 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

Disappointing. No sense in some moments, mysteries unsolved, no reasons for what was happening, I would recommend anyone who values their time not to watch this

A complete absence of meaning in all of the characters' actions! Pointless absurdity sold as a mystery.
