Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe script started out after Zach Cregger read the Gavin de Becker's book "The Gift of Fear," which encourages women to trust their intuition when confronted by obviously dangerous men. He used it as a writing exercise and began crafting a thirty-minute short that consisted entirely of a conversation in which a woman continues to ignore a mounting series of red flags. He liked it well enough that he knew he had the makings of a longer film and began conceptualizing a broader story for the characters.
- GoofsOne of the characters drives an electric Nissan Leaf, bizarrely it has engine and ignition sounds dubbed over its movement.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There are three mini-scenes after the initial smash cut to "Written & Directed by Zach Cregger" credit, showing Tess sitting up in the street, walking away from the bodies, and limping away from the water tower as dawn breaks.

Featured review
Strong start but falls off a cliff
The premise was really strong and interesting. It looked like it was gonna be one of my favorite horror films in recent times. The acting was good, the characters were good, but the film fell off a cliff after the monster reveal. It became a comedy. The monsters were scarier when we couldn't see them. After the reveal I couldn't take them seriously.
The characters who were competent at the beginning started to make the dumb decision horror trope. I stopped rooting for them to escape and I didn't care if they got offed. This completely dissolved the tension of the film for me.
So many horror films have a great setup but the writers do not know how to pay it off. This is one of those films.
