Is it clear to you who the killer is at the end?


Are we even supposed to know? Is there some "A-ha! Now it all makes sense who it is!" moment, or just a random person? Seems to be a previous renter who installs all the recording devices during his stay -- am I missing the "big reveal"? I was dreading it ending with no face reveal!

Guess we're not supposed to know. Honestly really dumb. Random unknown person wears mask, kills all 4 main characters, lives on, the end. Stupid movie. 1/10

Yeah exactly it’s pretty lackluster and the movies wastes so much time before anything really happens as well. Why give all the drama of the brother holding up with his brothers gf. Honestly it would have played out better if wasn’t a horror and just this movie about these two trying to keep their affair hidden but the creepy racist has footage so gives the tenseness of oh shit now what happens?!?

If just going to be some random no faced killer then make movie more focused on that and make the characters more likeable and fun. The brother and partner are aholes, the younger brother just comes across to needy and just sad and the wife kinda felt like got to annoyed at shit that is also on her and then tries to hard.

No character really felt like you cared enough about them to really care if they died.

We never get to find out. Just some random Michael Myers renting out places to install AV equipment to stalk and kill the next renters.

yeah, it was just a random person. for a moment i thought it would be taylor's brother, but the ending makes it pretty clear it was some previous tenant.
