The movie started out strong from the set pieces, performances to the tension. The second act balanced quite nicely between horror and comedic relief. The characters were surprisingly rational with their decisions, a rare trait in recent horror media.
However, the ending really insulted the audience. An extra character showed up solely as a plot device. They did briefly show the real backstory but it just felt so half-assed. Some stuff was never explained like how the cops ignore the protagonists, or the person who pointed them to this particular AirBnb...
Overall, it was going so well until the ending where I actually laughed out loud at how ridiculous it was. It was like either the director got tired of making the movie by the end or they ran out of budget and just decided that was good enough.
