If you have one ounce of common sense and you have just seen a friend get murdered and a stranger shows up wearing a mask, you will unmask them. Especially if you are in a group of five people and armed. These chumps did not.
Furthermore they stick to the horror movie trope of "let's split up" which allows the mysterious (and unexplained) killers to kill away.
There is no explanation as to the motivation or drive for the killers doing the killing, it seems as though the directors decided let's just make a haunted house movie and this is what they came up with. No backstory, no deeper meaning, no satisfaction for the viewer.
The kills are ok and not too torture porny, but a little too on the nose given this is a "random" group of teens. How would they know one is petrified by spiders and happen to tip a bucket of them on her in particular? Good question, no answers here though.
The final girl may as well have had "final girl" tattooed on her forehead - she has suitable boast traumatic history that makes her the perfect patsy.
There is no final "a-ha" moment, and the whole premise would instantly fall apart if someone had a cell phone or a firearm.
I wish the writers and producers would put more effort in, the production value was ok and the actors were ok too given the lack of material they had to work with.
Spend another week writing and make the story better would be my advice, you can only suspend disbelief so far...
