Kyle K @Kylekitzman 20h This movie is like getting whiskey D and, after an hour, giving up and going to sleep pissed off. The—"Because you were home"—is pure cringe. The film strains desperately to embody motive-free evil, to smugly declare that horror needs no reason, as if that's some groundbreaking philosophical flex. They hype the line like it's destined for immortality, jamming it into the trailer as the hook. But iconic lines don't become legendary in a vacuum; they earn their weight because the surrounding movie is legendary. "Luke, I am your father" or "I killed Mufasa" aren't magic words—they're immortal because the films that delivered them are masterpieces. This chased that status backward, assuming the quote alone would carry the weight. It doesn't. The movie lacks the self-awareness to see how forced and hollow it lands. It's made for people whose lives are so monotonous that any horror flick feels profound simply because it jolts their emotional flatline. empty, underwhelming, & forgettable.

They simply remove the masks and stab them? Is that the end? It feels disappointing, especially considering the strong setup they built. This could have been much better.

What could have been a tense, minimalist home invasion thriller collapses under the weight of its own emptiness, confusing “quiet” with “compelling” and “vague” with “scary.” See more Duane M @Duanedabath Jan 9 Slow burn build that is worth the wait See more Ben C @BenC91 Dec 31 The smoke alarm scene....Amazing. See more Paul T @PaulT68 Dec 29 Here’s an idea. Let’s start with not getting out of a functioning vehicle. The amount of mental gymnastics required to make this believable is too much. Liv Tyler is always nice to look at though. See more Read all reviews
