I actually really enjoyed this. It has it's cheesy moments and some ridiculous overacting but it has a charm to it. The plot twists may get a bit out of hand but Jacob Lofland (who should be in a Children Of The Corn movie) is menacing enough to keep things ticking over. One of Blumhouses better recent efforts.

This thriller is totally different than any I have seen, so I disagree with anyone who says it's mundane. A large portion of viewers aren't happy unless there is constant action or zombies. The suspense was intense. It frightened me. The acting was great and the twists were too. I gave it an extra star because the low reviews were not fair. If you want action look up action thrillers. I recommend. A change of pace from the same old same old.

The wifes character was such a jerk. I liked the actress in WestWorld, her acting was terrible in this. So, you're pissed at your husband for having an affair so you endanger them with weirdos, out of spite? Your child hates veal and your husband hates veal, so naturally you want to force them to eat veal at some weirdos house. They write a crazy message on the receipts and you're like its cool, Im going to go your house. Oh and you rent someones house and try to break into a room thats locked. What kind of woman is she? Shes weird too. They come over and the "grandpappy" is rude, I would have kicked him out. Just dumb and awkward any normal person would have kicked them out by now.

When the family that's close to breaking up takes a forced vacation to a grand house on the bayou, they don't expect to meet Isaac and Grand Pappy. The evening meal turns deadly and demonic, but fails to be as sinister as you'd want.

First off, Jacob Lofland as Isaac stole the show. He was extremely creepy. Very good actor. The movie was full of surprises. But it broke down at the end with the supernatural stuff. Could have been a horror classic had it not been for the silliness at the end. Very intense and unsettling. Suspenseful. The characters seemed real. Very good acting. But the ending with the disappearing house and the resurrection of dead people was pretty dumb.

I get that the old man and kid were supernatural beings who punish the wicked, but what I didn't get was why did they traumatize the daughter and the wife if their main target was the scumbag husband? This was one of those "could have been good " movies if the writing was a little more clearer. If you have a couple hours to kill on a lazy Sunday afternoon then I would say give it a shot.
