Totally agree. That and the different characters experiencing time differently was pretty creepy concepts but they didn't do anything with it. It was only 89 minutes long, they absolutely could have had a slower ramp up to the craziness at the end and it would have been much more effective. It went from "eh, sorta spooky noises" to "well they're hosed as hell, the tents were just ripped into the sky" in like a minute. I love a quick "get in get out" movie with a lean run time if it is super effective in what it wants to do but here I don't really know what they wanted to do.

I think around the final drone scene my wife said there was 15 minutes left and I remember thinking "huh they're going to wrap this up fast". There were a few things that seemed poorly built up, like the time stuff and the foot wound (it goes from hurt to bad but not gangrenous to whatever was going on in the last scene, I would have expected more of it going up the leg). Also whatever was going on in the last leg scene, it went too fast to get an idea of what I was supposed to be seeing.

Even the house scene was, IMO, rushed. I feel that the house was supposed to come across like the geometry was out of whack but it mostly came across like a lot of bland "spooky" corridors.
