strange, seemingly low budget horror movie about a woman who rents a VRBO, which, upon arrival, is double booked. It is late, the weather is bad and the neighborhood is inner city Detroit, so what's a girl to do?

I think it tackles all sorts of issues from gentrification to our personal biases in whom we place our trust (and no, it isn't done in a woke way for you little board gremlins).

Nudity, but not the good kind.

I enjoyed it and it did scare me. There were both psychological and jump scares and the movie made you consider it afterwards. Overall, pretty good and recommended. Not great but good.

I didn't realize it until after watching but this was supposedly the big hit in horror this year. I don't think it lives up to that kind of hype but it's worthy of look.

my daughter was raving to me about this one this week (she and I are both horror movie fans). I trust her judgement on these kinds of things, I'll have to check it out this weekend.

I saw it. It was fine. Very bad nudity.

It would have been funny to work on that set
