It would have been better without the supernatural elements.


Instead of getting calls from ghosts, Finn should have found the clues by himself in the basement. Messages or warning left by other victims such as "the unlocked door is a trap".

Just him, the basement and the killer until the end. No sister, no ghosts, no cuts to the outside world. Now, THAT would have been a great claustrophobic thriller/horror movie.
