Storyline;
Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her parent's for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.


Thoughts;
This movie will NOT disappoint! It was pretty amazing. Again, there’s not much of a back story, which is what I like. Give it to us, but don’t take up an hour with it.

This movie wasn’t so much scary as it was creepy! Watching it for the first time, you truly have no idea what’s going on in the Armitage estate. The “help” act strange as do the parents and brother. When the “get together” happens, things seem to get a little weirder. You can tell at this point that Chris is putting together that something is going on. He decides during the party that he is leaving, he tells his girlfriend Rose that they are going. As they make their way down the stairs and finds the rest of the family waiting. This is when you learn that Rose is in on the whole thing.

This movie was truly amazing, one of the best I’ve seen in awhile (besides split which we just also watched). It’s very hard to be original now, all writers can do is put their own spin on already there plots, this was pretty unique.

I also very much liked the comedic relief of the best friend, who happens to work for TSA. He also happens to save Chris, who has killed the family, Grandma and Grandpa too!
