The main plots have no connection to one another and never get resolved. The killer is irrelevant and has no real motive or ties to the main characters—you never even see their face. There’s nothing to think about or chew on after the movie ends, nor is it a campy slasher. 2/10

So the premise is good. The end end is good. But the climax was so bad. I mean some spoilers.

You have this whole incident you expect and it happens. Instead of psychological warfare and putting them against each other you just bludgeon them. No panache. No showmanship.

two shots really got me w this one:
• when the killer ran out of the darkness of the woods towards the car Michelle was in
&
• at the very end of the movie when the killer storms into the bedrm of the new rental property w the sleeping tenants and the SCREEN GOES BLACK

It’s alright they could’ve done more the idea was definitely interesting but the execution was just meh and we know nothing about the killer what’s his motive who is he? I will say I did enjoy the drama part but it honestly didn’t need a killer. It could have been athriller only.

I liked the idea of it and the location was absolutely beautiful, but the characters were insufferable and it was barely even a thriller up until the last three minutes. The ending was so unsatisfying and it felt like it was trying too hard. Jeremy like always was great

plot was so ass… nothing was interesting until the end and even then the reveal of the masked man was literally irrelevant because we didn’t even know who he was. i was expecting some sort of twist or whatever warfare OR SOMETHING but they literally gave us absolutely nothing

veryyy drama, felt a little disjointed, i wish they would’ve set up the tension and horror more but the acting wasn’t bad and it was entertaining enough, i liked the mask and the cinematography a lot

I actually really liked it. A genuinely good thriller/horror, and I don’t understand the “there’s no plot” complaints. Not every killer needs a tragic backstory and a 20-minute explanation. Sometimes people are just fucking creeps. I actually liked that.
My only complain was the fucking roof. Architecturally speaking, WHAT was going on there? Jesus Christ.
And when the molly barbie doll wanted to call the police, I was impressed. Finally, someone with a brain. Although by then I was honestly rooting for the killer to just finish the job. 😂

It had all the right ingredients but just managed to miss the mark somehow. I knew this was going to be a film of 2 halves going in, and while the first part did build tension, it didn't really feel like it paid off in the end. Good performances and well shot, just didn't land.

boring kills, unlikable characters - most of which are pretty awful people, and a bland killer which seems to be deliberatly written with 0 discernable qualities exept mute?? na.

This movie had so much potential.. The acting was really good & I loved the drama. But I feel like they gave up towards the end bec it was so good until then. I hate the fact the killer was just random w no motive and this film could’ve been so much scarier. It was alright 5/10
