Surprisingly, that's how I felt about it, too... There were a bunch of really good jumpy moments, but there were other parts where the killers seemed to be performing more for the audience than for the victims.
I guess after seeing Ils (Them) and Inside, my standards for home invasion movies have risen a bit.
That being said, this was pretty impressive for a Hollywood horror, but overall I found it somewhat lacking.
My problem is that I can't really figure out what it needed -
More suspense?
More blood/gore?
More torture? I am honestly not sure, which is leaving me slightly confused at the moment. To begin with, I didn't feel as though the victims were substantially isolated, which was annoying (the cabin just didn't seem incredibly isolated or cut-off). Then there were some predictable turns that didn't have a very satisfying payoff... I don't know...
