Emma Stone gives a great performance in this psychological thriller about a new mother suffering post-partum depression. Admittedly this film might not be everyone's cup of tea. For much of the film's duration it looks like it is going to be a standard horror film about a couple moving into a house with a violent past. It is somewhat slow moving and might not appeal to people who enjoy a lot of gore and jump scares. If the ending had been one of the very common ghost story endings, it would have been a very disappointing movie.

However, the ending was very brilliant. The movie is a psychological thriller about attachments and bonding and is not a horror movie at all. If you want a movie where everything is spoon-fed to you and you don't need to engage a brain, you might not like the ending, but it is a positive uplifting ending that shows the preceding events in a new light.

I don't mind a low budget movie about a family going camping in the woods and meeting with a bad guy who tells them to get off their land.

However, the actions taken by the various people (especially the mother) are so illogical and silly that the movie just becomes totally irritating. Awful script and bad acting.
