On one hand, this movie wasn't horrible. The plot got me in early and I kind of cared what was going on, even though the main characters were doing drastically stupid stuff, and risking way too much over dares. You knew this would come back in the movie. Once the girl is in the house, That's really when I start to have problems with this movie. None of the characters act like any normal person. I think I saw a girl fall down twice just by her own clumsiness. They had countless opportunities to leave. It didn't really explain until the end why the guy was so wanting to get his friend out. By the end you could kind of figure out the plot twist because it was the only thing that made sense. Even before the end you probably figured it out. I don't like movies where they make the characters do dumb decisions to advance the plot, but that's the only way they could advance the plot here. To me that's lazy writing. Add in that many of the decisions just didn't make sense and you had a movie that you wanted to like but you simply couldn't at the end. I stuck around just to see what the ending would be but 3/4 into it you're pretty much done with it. I've seen much worse movies, but this one had potential at least. The movie also acts like they're in a house that is 10,000 ft² because they can never figure out where they are in the house, and it seems to go on forever. And who makes a closet that you can get locked in? Like, why is that even there? There are so many little things I could point out that I just don't have the time to do, But at least the movie had my attention for a little bit.
