In this horror movie, four people are paid to take care of a country-side house for a week. There are rules, and they are recommended to film their daily life.
The set-up is similar to reality shows like Terrace House, but the vlogging is not made a big thing. Instead, focus is on the interactions of the inhabitants, and the isolation at the remotely located house.
In this kind of artificial thought-experiment, where a group of people is put together, the dynamic between the characters is especially important. There is some conflict, and some cute scenes, so this aspect becomes the strongest point of the movie.
The house is beautiful and has several good spots for filming, even a swimming pool. Yet, it by itself does not have personality enough to carry the movie. A couple more houses or locations could have been good for variation.
Every horror movie needs a mysterious background story. This time it is somewhat logical, but a bit mundane, and does not engage my imagination.
The special effects are of the cheaper kind, and some props seem to be made of plastic instead of the material they should be made of. But that's ok, since the cheap physical props look more natural than bad computer generated effects would have.
My final words is that the movie has a few nice scenes, but that there is not much that is unique or interesting.
