A young woman shows up at a remote Detroit AirBnB, only to discover that someone else has been double booked for the same house. As they get over the initial awkwardness of the situation, they begin to discover that they aren't quite alone in this house.
What I liked about the film is that the pacing is good, it doesn't feel rushed and instead eases you into the storyline and characters. The woman getting to the BnB and getting to know her co-tenant, and from there the two discovering some unusual things in the house is very well done in my view. It gives everything time to sink in, yet at the same time without becoming slow.
I didn't watch the trailer for this, and that probably helped with the unpredictability of some of the film's elements as just watching the story, you don't easily predict what is coming next, and the introduction of Justin Long's character wasn't something I could have foreseen.
That being said, this is still a relatively classic horror film in what it delivers, however I enjoyed that instead of relying on jump scares, the film builds things up gradually and leans more on atmosphere to deliver chills. There were a few elements in the final act that I wasn't too keen on as maybe a couple of cliches crept in, but overall a nice solid and refreshing horror movie.
