* EightDeadlyWords: We're ''supposed'' to sympathize with Naomi and Logan for all the troubles they go through. However, with how incredibly [[FlatCharacter flat]] they are and the constant usage of plot threads thrown about all leading to ''nothing'', it's very easy to stop caring about them halfway through the movie.

** [[spoiler: The killer]] is apparently able to move around the house effortlessly with complete impunity to being seen or heard, moving completely silently. [[spoiler: Then it's revealed that he's a [[TheBrute gigantic hulking man]], wearing massive black boots that look completely impractical for sneaking.]]

Even when he realizes that [[spoiler:the killer made him stab his own mother to death]], he doesn't even try to [[spoiler:avenge her death by attacking the killer]]. Instead, he drops the knife he was holding and runs away.

Logan's actions probably weren't a buy for time, but it's not impossible they were.

* BileFascination: People heard extensively from how terrible the film is and as a result, some went to Netflix to see if it's ''that'' bad. And it ''is''.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The film has multiple elements that could have worked in it's favor: Logan's concerns of the house, Naomi's photography, their neighbor's erratic behavior, and more or less ''who'' was in their house, but the film ignores all of that just [[spoiler: to invoke the NothingIsScarier trope '''terribly''']].
