This movie just feels so hollow. Nothing makes sense. There's an evil security system that creates paranormal beings in your house then turns you into one? Or something? But also the girl being haunted has PTSD and the security system is displaying the exact visions she'd have?

Nothing makes sense. There's a part where it seems like things are going to be explained, but they aren't. They could have made a real movie and had the main character do actual research (not the 5 minutes of "research" she does which is a single google search) and have things come together and be explained. Or they could have portrayed a woman going insane because of PTSD, with none of her visions being real. Either way would have made a much more interesting movie.

Instead you get a very bland and predictable plot that makes no logical sense. It's very flat, pretty much one long sequence of "slightly weird things happening" then one trying to be tense scene at the end.

I guess okay background noise.

The opening teaser is a house that does weird things to the security system and consumes a family. The California house which boasts a state of the art Diablo security system is bought by MIguel (Carlo Mendez) and Eva (Natasha Esca) from Mexico City. Eva was attacked but survived a visit by Mexico city's serial killer also known my the name Diablo. Miguel leaves Eva alone in the new home and she experiences issues with the security system. There isn't much plot. Eva interfaces with a few of her neighbors and the Daiblo technician, but in reality the film was slow and boring.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

When a beautiful young woman is left alone in a luxurious, but haunted house, after moving from Mexico City.

She spirals into a state of paranoia.

Largely due to the "smart" technology system, which monitors, not only, everything in her house...but the entire neighbourhood.

Including her biometrics...and even her dreams.

In which she is tormented by a masked, knife wielding, character, who may or may not be a "ghost in the machine".

I say may or may not, because it's not inherently clear.

What is clear, is that they were going for a sort of Paranormal Activity vibe.

However, the film is plagued with horrible acting.

Some really poorly edited flashback (and flash-forward) sequences.

And a plot structure which makes no sense, whatsoever.

So, despite it's polished look, it comes off as rather amateurish.

There's no doubt it's supposed to be a psychological thriller.

But most of the psychologically based plot points are incredibly poorly developed.

Having been thrown in, without any explanation whatsoever.

You can't help but hope that these loose ends will be tied up in the end.

But answers about why, and how, just never come to fruition.

Ending with you being left, inexplicably (and inexcusably), in the dark.

Leaving you wondering...what the hell was the point?

Because, from a storytelling perspective...it's flabbergastingly bad.

As it ends with you left in complete and utter confusion.

Which is a confounding tactic, at best.
