A young woman travels to Detroit for a job interview and quickly discovers the Airbnb she booked is double-booked, and a strange man is already staying there. Despite her doubts, she decides to spend the evening, but soon discovers there is a lot more to fear than just the unexpected double-booking guest….
The start of the movie shows us the young girl pulling up outside her rental for the night, and by the start of this, it immediately drew me in, and it kept me watching throughout the duration.
As the film progressed and became more unpredictable, with twists at every turn. The story of the background from when the neighbourhood was popular and filled with residents kept viewers intrigued as it followed a man to the store and back to the home and into the basement. This background explanation provided a good context for the horrific events that occurred in the house that the film focuses on.
Usually, I am rather critical of horror films, as I find most of them are predictable early on, and there seem to only be a few that capture my attention throughout. This film gripped my attention from start to end, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I felt that the writing and production were perfect, as they effectively told the story. I felt my anxiety had been slightly heightened in certain scenes, too, especially in scenes in the tunnel under the house.
The jump scares were good and very well done. It was an alarming film, and that’s what I find to be a good horror film – when it has disturbing and weird scenes that make the viewer cringe, which happened with me.
Overall, a great film to sit down on an evening and watch with some popcorn, maybe even a pillow to hide behind if that really needs to be done.
I rate this film 4.5 stars
