From the double booked Air B&B, to the run down and abandoned suburbs of Detroit, and the serial rapist-murderer flashback starring the criminally underutilized Richard Brake, this film could've gone in so many different directions.
I was hooked for about the first half of the movie. I really liked the tone and the setting. Georgina Campbell was good throughout. There was good chemistry between the two initial lead actors but the wheels came off once Bill Skarsgard's character was killed off. Bringing in Justin Long and going that angle kind of felt like unnecessary filler.
Ultimately the double booked Air B&B (which is a cool concept for a modern-day thriller) didn't matter in the slightest. The motherhood theme was okay but didnt really fit any traits or themes of any other character or anything else in the film for that matter. All in all, nothing really meshed in the end. It's just a shame that there was a cool initial concept that ultimately culminated in a pretty run-of-the-mill monster horror movie. Real shame.
