Listen, I wanted to give this a chance, b/c M. Night has such a great run at the beginning of his career with the first 3 movies. Not to mention, I'm always on board with a director to step back and make a low budget horror movie to find his footing again.

While there are a couple creepy moment and good scares (especially one very good jump scare), the whole movie jumps around in tone throughout its run-time. What starts out as more a comedy then becomes a horror film. The rapping kid is more annoying than funny to me. A couple sitting next to me got up and left just a couple minutes in, and I think that kid was to blame.

The absolute worst part though was the ending, where the 2 leads were among the dumbest people I have ever seen in a horror movie. I'm simply stunned that the fact that they DO NOT RUN AWAY or try harder to get away is getting a pass by the bulk of reviewers and fans. And then, when all is said and done, we get a dramatic ending by the mother after the kids escape? And then a comedic one following that where the rapper raps about the traumatic experience as if it were a joke? You guys are buying that?

I mean, was it funny for you? Scary? Both? I just can't understand how this is getting by, it really baffles me.
