Moviegoers are saying
This horror film divides audiences with its creepy atmosphere that either captivates or falls completely flat. While some viewers praise its tense, unsettling mood and surprising elements, others find it a complete snoozefest lacking genuine scares or satisfying jump scares.

It wasn’t scary at all, and boring at times. I want my money back.

Ultimately, one suspects Perkins views Liz’s dilemma as little more than an excuse to construct a fun exercise in nightmare inducement that possesses the same craftsmanship that Malcolm clearly put into his swanky cabin. Each is a sight to see and neither is worth visiting for too long.

To add insult to injury, just when things are finally about to get nasty, a character effectively sits us down for a tedious exposition dump that explains the whats, whys and hows of it all. It’s this very lack of trust in its viewers that comes as the film’s most upsetting development.
