The third act shows glimpses of this and it wasn't to its favor. The acting is perfectly decent all things considered. There are obviously no award winners here, but no one in the film is actively bad. Well, maybe there's one actor, you'll know the one. This reminds me of Tropic Thunder where they say 'never go full retard'. And I don't wanna say that the actor goes 'full retard', but he's sure as shit close. There's also a twist that you can pretty much predict right from the get-go. Predictability sure as shit holds this movie back.
Another thing that holds it back is the fact that the villain s literally have no motivation for what they're doing. They try to tell you that the house belonged to their family. But you don't get to see any backstory as to why they want this house so much.

No flashbacks to happy memories in the house before a system set up for you to fail, the banks, takes your childhood home away from you. Nope, there's none of that. The people just want the home just because. And the twist attempts to change all that to something else, but I have no idea what they were actually aiming for or what the purpose of it all was.
Why did the 'real villain' want the main characters to die? I have no fucking clue. And I get that, in real life, some serial killers commit the horrible acts just because they can, but this isn't real life, even though the movie is inspired by a real event, in theory. But for the story to feel satisfactory, you have to understand what the villain wants and why.

And this movie literally does none of that. They don't even make the effort. It'd be entirely different if I saw them make an effort, but they don't, so I gotta hold that against them. So, yea, I don't have much else to say about this movie.
It's got some elements that I like, but the movie's refusal to tell a full narrative works against it. And, really, it's their own fault. They have no one to blame for themselves if the movie fell short of having a satisfying story. Still, with all that said, this isn't really an actively bad movie.

It's just that its flaws keep it from reaching its full potential. Not to mention the fact that some Lifetime TV movie-esque elements hurt more than actually help. Wouldn't really recommend this movie, even if I thought it was better than what I was expecting prior to watching it. More Top Movies Trailers Forums.
