The whole concept of being spied on while staying in a rented space is disturbing to say the least with the possibility of being terrifying. I found all of the characters to be unlikable in one way or another, contributing to their own downfall. The only one I really worried about was the dog. The idea that someone in the real world would perpetrate something like this is definitely unsettling.

A low budget indie film based on the tried and true premise that people staying in strangers' places with unwitting hosts are risking their privacy and well being as the dramas in Hitchcock's Bates Motel from Psycho (1960) or Bad Times at the El Royale (2018.) Only that the renters are two pairs of young couples set to do some hiking and drugs in an isolated West coastal Airbnb. Sounds like plenty of opportunities to stage all sorts of mayhem and there are some towards the end but only after many sophomoric twists created by bad decisions.

So-so thriller that has some good moments but takes a while to get started. Good performances by Alison Brie and Dan Stevens. Dave Franco, who is married to Brie, directs. Filmed in Oregon!
