August W. This film is full of relationship paranoia , mixed with the unknown threat on the outside. It's a bit of a slow build, then it kicks into thriller gear. For some reason the Mina character annoyed me, but that could be on purpose in the writing. My problem: the ending. Without giving anything away, my question I was waiting for was, "Why?". Why does the antagonist go through all of this? Money? Blackmail- would have made sense. I was just left asking that's it? But overall, worth the watch!

Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review bibienne O I don,t think it a horror movie, it start very slow at the beginning. It all about relationship problem between those four people. Director not given more information about the villian why he kill, monitor people. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review Jay G Very smart movie. It starts slow, but suddenly every step and decision takes it to another complex and tense situation. Loved the scenarios and music. The plot and characters are not the best, but considering the budget, this is a really smart and interesting story. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Alice V THANK YOU "horror" movie for avoiding all the tedious tropes... the endless sneaking, creaking, supposed suspense of drawn-out cliches -- NO HIDING CULPRITS LURKING WITH TIME-BOMB MUSIC AS POTENTIAL VICTIMS GO BLITHELY ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS! NO HIDE-AND-SLASH IN WEIRD INDUSTRIAL AND OTHER ABANDONED SETTINGS! NO CHASE SCENES! The killer bluntly dispatches the characters without toying with the audience... the only toying is that you're trying to make sense of the plot (the owner? one of the jilted ex-girlfriends?) but it's just some crazy outlier who moves on to the next rental -- and you never see his face. RENTING? YOU COULD BE NEXT. Very refreshing! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/25 Full Review David F This is a nice, simple, little horror film about a group of friends who rent a beach house for a couple of days and end up misbehaving, fighting, and wondering if the caretaker of the house they’re staying at is filming them. The plot here is very clever, and the suspense and mysteries deepen at a nice pace. This is a really of-the-moment thriller and the interplay between the secrets and lies of the group and the potential outside threat creates some really exciting and novel cinematic situations. This is a fresh horror movie about renting houses from strangers that will make you think twice about your next weekend getaway.
