Nothing new, quite boring

This is your standard horror movie with the standard ingredients: group of highschool students, blood, knife, unknown killer, small community.

Don't bother...

Hidden secrets, wasted ideas.

I have to be honest, I really did enjoy the first fifteen or so minutes of this film, the premise was interesting, some of the scenes quite chilling. Sadly once the film gets into its stride, it falls flat on its face, they did not capitalise on any of the ideas, the mask concept was good, but somehow it was just lost in translation.

The acting wasn't bad, some performances were definitely better than others.

Visually pretty good also, it looked good, that wasn't the issue, the pacing was, for a horror slasher it was very boring at its core.

The ending was too abrupt, it had no tension, no build up, the reveal was pretty obvious, but came about in a haphazard manner.

It's no Scream, it's on par with some lesser slasher movies, watchable as long as your expectations are pretty low. 5/10.

It fails where Scream(1996) succeeded.

A killer goes after people who have dark secrets, I remember an episode of Supernatural(2005-2020) had a similar premise.

It's not all terrible, but would not put in the classics section with Scream, at least in that movie the killer had a fearful presence that makes you feel like you not safe anywhere, but with this film I just didn't have that feeling with this killer, unlike Ghost face and Michael Myers.

There are some kills that are alright but not clever. Some of the characters are okay, but had tough time getting invested in some of them. All in all a medium thriller at best. If you liked it more and can sit through it more times, I'm glad you can, but not me.

Trivia
In a 2021 interview with Rue Morgue, Patrick Brice spoke about his approach to shooting the movie and the overall influence of the slasher subgenre: "You know, I wasn't thinking about '80s slashers as much, just because those were films that I was not allowed to watch as I was growing up! It was really the late-'90s/early-2000s ones that I went to see in movie theaters, a lot of them on opening day as they came out. There's definitely a spiritual sort of through-line between those films and ours, but in terms of the way THERE'S SOMEONE INSIDE YOUR HOUSE looks, I was just excited to be able to take a more classical approach to styling a movie. I'd never had the chance, or had the time or the money to be able to craft a film visually in the way we were able to do with this one. I worked a lot with the DP, Jeff Cutter, in terms of thinking about what lenses we were going to use, and what the look was going to be, and it was thrilling to be able to craft the movie in a way that spoke to solving the problems of this individual project, as opposed to feeling like I had to throw in specific visual references to these other films you're talking about."

Goofs
The film is based in Nebraska. When they go into the middle of a cornfield, the corn is shown at full height and green. During this time of year, the corn would actually be brown and harvest-ready.
