PRAISE: This movie at least had me from the beginning with its creepy town setting filled with creepy people foundation.
The 2008 version left me with a bleak and haunting feeling. I did like that this movie supports my stance on one of the reasons why to NEVER stay at an Airbnb. The story this time around is about Maya (Madelaine Petsch ) and Ryan (Froy Gutierrez) who are traveling across the country when they take a wrong turn and all of the usual tropes fall into place. Director Renny Harlin comes up with some creepy fun moments. Some work and a couple actually reminded me of the Killer shark bit from Saturday Night Live.
PROBLEMS: The decision to make this movie the start of a trilogy waters down a lot that happens in the movie which is very short. Something like this would work better as a series. There's just a repetitive feel to it because it's saying to me oh we have to hold back because possibly the good stuff will come in the next two movies.
There are a few to obvious turns and predictable moments.
