Promising thriller missteps early, succumbs to cliche, tired writing, formula.
True crime writer, Ethan Hawke (aarrgghh, another plot with that most boring main character, the writer), moves family into home where previous family was mass murdered.
Of course, he neglects to tell his wife any of those details.
In no time flat, he discovers cans of film, clues, and bumps in the night.
Does he move the family out? Ha, silly grasshopper, sensible character do not, for horror story, abide.
Guys ... men have been stabbed for less.
OK enough production, but the plot has been done dozens of times.
