I wanted to say that the only performance worthwhile was done by Neville Archambault who plays the character Gerald.
Gerald is performing live streams of 14 cameras in a vacation home. It's basically the only thing we see during the whole movie. After a brief introduction of the opening couple and the girlfriend getting abducted, a larger family rents the house and Gerald's antics in the house become increasingly disturbing. He goes from messing with toothbrushes and drinking from milk cartons to sniffing underwear and stealing clothes.
However, I fail at suspending disbelief at this old man keeping a woman hostage twenty some odd years since he walks around like a turtle and breathes heavily. I have a hard time thinking this man can overpower anyone. I spent a majority of the film bored out of my mind. This film doesn't go anywhere. There is no substance, there is no plot, there is nothing scary, no jump-scares, no action. This film sits around waiting for it to happen. If this film is any indication, it's clear that I don't need to watch 13 Cameras to know that this is what I'll see with some different faces.
I am definitely going to be more cautious when it comes to looking for BnB vacation spots in the future, but all in all this is a film much like Bug (2006) that fails to become anything worth watching. It never establishes a plot to interest the viewer and to call it a horror film is an insult to horror genre.
I wouldn't ask anyone to ever waste 90 minutes on this.
