I wonder what publications gave this film all those "5 star" reviews for them to put on the film's cover

Rating: 1/10 (26 June 2018)

If you want to watch a film that is awful in every sense you can imagine, go watch this film. And now that I see this is rated at 7.7 on IMDB, I am super sure that one must not use IMDB rating as a measure.
What are we talking about here? Horror? Thriller? Mystery? There is nothing... the man that should get all the credit is that person who made the trailer... because he has managed to make something that reflects 0% of the film.
The plot is egregiously poor. Characters have literally no identity and the motives beyond most of their actions is so inorganic. Not to mention the so many side characters and side stories that have no function at all in the whole story.
These flopped characters come across even worse given the very poor acting, specially in the role of the father (Gabriel Byrne), he is the most passive individual ever in a situation that one cannot understand how this could even be possible !
The mother is a joke too, i mean her character is just so bad but still a comical performance at times by Toni Collette.
And that ending just sums it all up, like the most bizzare way to finalise a poorly written script that seems it was just a rough idea and was rushed into production.
The directing is a laugh. The film has literally no moments of horror, thrill or excitement for the most part. What they have done is that they have tried to create the feeling of suspense simply by applying horrifying sounds on the scenes but the problem is .... nothing happens. The camera work, choices of frames is also so bad that you cannot even believe this is a film made in 2018.
You cannot make a "horror" film by simply abusing audiovisual tools i.e. horror tones on every single scene where the character is simply walking from one room to another and nothing ever happens.
My friend next to me said some lines that cracked the whole cinema...
first he was like: man is this a documentary or what?
Next he said: I think this should have been an audio film.
And final note (and those who watched this would relate to this): " I think this film is about making maquettes."
