1* 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''.
2* FanNickname: [[spoiler:After one reviewer took to calling the killer "Evil Boots", the Internet did the same.]]
3* {{Narm}}
4** Logan's constant [[spoiler: remembrances of his father's death come off as this.]]
5** [[spoiler:The killer]] slowly and carefully removing Logan's contact lenses instead of just [[spoiler:gouging his eyes out or even strangling him.]]
6** [[spoiler:The killer]] deciding to sleep beside Naomi. She apparently doesn't notice that [[spoiler:a man twice the size of Logan]] is lying right next to her.
7** [[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.]]
8* {{Padding}}: The scenes of Naomi and Logan exploring their new house go on for way too long.
9* 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''']].
10* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Piercey Dalton and Dylan Minnette (of ''Series/ThirteenReasonsWhy'' fame) seem to be the only actors not phoning it in and doing their best to make it presentable.
