Standard: whenever a horror film has a high rating, it invariably turns out to be crap. If you prefer to be alternately bored (the damn thing is almost two hours) but also flabbergasted by the most asinine plot imaginable, watch this garbage. Just don't go whining to me that I hadn't warned you.It's not a real comedy. It's just a highly cretinous thriller with the usual sub-standard Kiwi humour thrown in occasionally. The plot-twists are mind-boggling in their imbecility, starting from the guy who's been living - undetected - within the walls of the house for years (living on air and worms?), then the junkie who doesn't lose her house-arrest privileges even after numerous incidents (including stabbing a man with scissors), all the way to the intelligence-insulting twist that gives us the SOCIAL WORKER as the girl's killer. Utter rubbish in every conceivable way, with so many plot holes that it's the movie equivalent of cheese. Avoids the lowest rating for the peeing scene.

Yeah, it was cool.Would like it better if things turned out to be really supernatural. But this was a cool film to spend the evening. It's worth it. The house shown in the film was perhaps too small to have a secret dungeon - other than that, there was no defect in the film for a common watcher like me.

If there is one thing to say about this film is that it is original. I enjoyed watching the film(On Netflix), It was a different than the creepy house is haunted type horror that floods the cinemas. The screenplay is where this movie shines, Its very well done and had many twists and turns that I never saw coming. Although the movie is good and I found the screenplay well done, The movies has many false scares and a loud score to try an scare you. There are a few scares that are not false but they more help to keep the story going. I just wanted to see where it was going other than scenes that felt repetitive while watching. She does this few scenes later does the same thing, this movie felt longer than needed to make the story. It spoon feeds you information with exposition filled dialogue and explanations to every encounter. Overall I enjoyed the movie but left me with nothing to really think about. I don't think I need to watch it again other than watching it with a friend. It earns a 6/10.

We watched this with two of our teenage kids on a Saturday afternoon. It was WAY better and way different than I thought it would be. So much so that I actually made an account with IMDb just so I could write a review for this film. We watch a lot of 'scary' movies because it's the one genre we can all agree on, so we've gotten pretty used to the typical plot lines, twists, jumps, etc. This movie is such an interesting combination of scary and funny---but not slapstick or 'dumb' stuff to get a laugh, just genuinely funny moments that are central to the plot and endearing. We laughed out loud multiple times. And the scares are...not typical. This is the first movie I can ever remember ALL of us screaming. I thought the acting was good, I felt really fond of the main characters by the time it ended. Advice: we found the accents (New Zealand) hard to understand at times. Turning on the subtitles helped. I think this is an overlooked little gem that deserves a lot more recognition. Great movie.
