The idea of the story is not bad, but after watching 15mins, everything just doesn't make sense, also feel very bored, such a wasted cause the lighting setup and art direction is ok,

2 veteran actors of note (Dern & Lang), which drew me in Terrible storyline - difficult to follow, contrived and not well developed. Started with interesting potential then completely fizzled. Hard pass on this one.

Two minutes into this movie, and already I couldn't stand either of the leads. Stephen Lang is one of my favorite character actors, and I have no idea what he's doing in this Lifetime Channel-esque mishmash of bad acting and worse screenwriting. Cliches and stereotypes abound, all the bad guys are white, everybody in the fifties drove a Thunderbird and lived like the Cleavers, etc. Don't bother with this one. Two stars because at least Stephen Lang appears from time to time to remind one why they might have mistakenly thought this movie might be good.

This movie was terrible. It often wasn't clear what was going on and as others have said, good actors gave some terrible performances, which speaks to the writing and directing. The film really intensely misunderstands architecture. It's also a movie that tries to center female characters, but was written by a man and lacks insight. It arguably also fails the Bechdel Test. You get a sense of what it was trying for, but it doesn't remotely achieve it.

Shane West really shines in this as Tom Levin - he really does need to do more leading roles. He can say so much without even a line if dialogue and seeing Tom going through so many emotions in the film it's always great to watch him work. Was my first time seeing Sarah Hay in anything and she was brilliant. Hay and West really carried the film for me. Bruce Dern was fantastic in a limited role. Eldridge had the potential to be a greater villain than he appeared on screen - I feel he probably read better on the script than what was executed unfortunately but it didn't take too much away for me. 8/10 from me.

Really cool ambience and a unique story arc. The ending in particular is quite haunting - still thinking about it months later. Also benefits from great features from the legendary Stephen Lang and Bruce Dern, both of whom seem to relish in their characters. Another A+ - the design and atmosphere. The movie really captures a certain romanticism of the Southern California aesthetic - sexy, sleek, but sinister. Really hoping the filmmakers continue to focus on horror - some unique perspectives and stories to tell. I'd absolutely watch another film from Mike Stern and these producers. Overall, a great popcorn movie for the upcoming spooky season. Highly recommend!

Despite Having 2 well know actors, I actually Really like, Dern and Lang! This was just SO MUCH SLOW and Stupid Garbage!!! I think these 2 seasoned actors either did someone a favor appearing in this, or were bored and just wanted something to do, Obviously Anything to do!!! Waste of their talents!! I gave it 2 points for the beautiful architecture of the Mid-century homes I am familiar with from my youth. But, Such a BAD and Boring SCRIPT!!! Could have been a decent movie with a Better script and much better actors, because I didn't recognize anyone and they were so emotionless and making constant stupid horror cliché choices! For a Doctor and Architect, I found the 2 leads (couple) to be Really lame! But I'll take that Thunderbird, Please!! ;D The houses and 50's style clothing and beautiful cars is NOT a good enough reason to WASTE almost 2 hours of your life on this Tripe!! You've been warned!

But not the worst it was a 1 out of 10 and that's being nice , I mean really we had to pay to watch this . Don't take your date to see this . Not something I would recommend or watch a second time.
