Trite plot, and reverse-racism

Rating: 4/10 (13 February 2018)

WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!! DO NOT READ IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY THE SUSPENSE!!!!!!!!
I just watched this and I really don't see what all the shouting is about or why it's winning so many accolades. The underlying story elements are trite and used-up--rich white people practicing evil magic and mind-control! (THEY LIVE), and, naive hero goes to isolated retreat-location whose inhabitants are gradually revealed to be demonic cultists intent on making him a human sacrifice! (THE WICKER MAN, and god knows how many movies and TV episodes based on stories by HP Lovecraft and others like him). And the conclusion is pure reverse-racism: ALL the white characters, including the most apparently sympathetic, apparently non-racist one, turn out to be e-e-e-e-e-vil bad guys who can only be defeated by using extreme violence.
The only appealing features of this movie are decent camerawork, creepy atmosphere, some engaging suspense at the beginning of the movie, fairly decent performances by SOME of the actors, and a few clever jokes like the capable, heroic good-guy/rescuer being a trustworthy, reliable agent of TSA (yeah, the guys who check you for underwear-bombs at airports) and therefore "knowing how to handle things". Not nearly enough to make up for the feeling of let-down from the trite plot and the disgust at the reverse-racism.
