Terror arrives at the one place we all feel safest... When a wealthy woman, Chloe, and her stepson, Jacob, are targeted by a trio of expert thieves in their remote mansion, her only form of help comes from a call with Mike, a security systems specialist. But as the intruders become increasingly hostile and the connection wavers, will she trust him to be her eyes and navigate her to safety?
There’s a couple drops of originality here and there for the genre, but overall the story doesn’t reel you in at all. The cool visual aspects are dropped very quickly, and the conveniences of the plot take you out of the movie a little.
Sometimes mystery heightens a film. Often, in fact. Here it does not. Here it feels like an excuse for laziness. Also the child actor in this is bloody awful.
Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product.
