I think the director has had too many self-help sessions, lots of cod-psychology dialogue, and a bunch of unrelatable characters, and basically the lead guy looked too much like Chris Pratt, so his "surprised" face kept making it silly, and the barn scene! Unintentionally funny! The director has been quoted as calling it a "breakup movie" and listing stuff like Clueless as his inspiration. I just found it a really weird mix. A bit of personal experience is good for art but not to the point of boring the audience to death.

All these "big names" in horror (Jordan Peele etc) are just producing passable stuff but the generation of people giving them "scariest movie ever" reviews have probably never seen anything before 2014.

I'm probably just old & cranky but keep getting disappointed with these things.
