look. i didn’t love this for a few reasons. it makes no sense, and i don’t mean that like i don’t understand it. I do understand it and it makes no sense. what what you discover in the last 30ish minutes, the motivations of the characters are unexplained and irrational. i can’t explain further than that without spoiling. the first half works nicely and is scary as strangers vs the main characters. it’s similar to other horror films with intruders who want something you don’t know about. the back half reaches too far. if you pay attention, you know throughout the film that several key components play a part in what is going to happen, you just don’t how how or why. this movie would have been better if it had 1 or 2 of those components. that would have made for a surprising and cohesive ending. however, the writers tried to do way too many things that it becomes predictable while also not being explained how and why all these components were important enough to include. i would not watch this again because the story telling is weak and aggravating. the acting particularly by the main character was amazing.
