The movie’s first act is its most conventional, as Tess accidentally double-books an Airbnb for the same period of time as charming stranger Keith . She can’t find other lodging in this rough part of Detroit… should she stay the night? From there, Tess’ fear spirals as she creeps down into the hidden underground tunnels under the house, and runs into mutant woman known as The Mother, who savagely kills Keith right in front of her.

He’s not assessing anything about himself. And so they are spiritual twins — they’re just the inverse of each other. And they have to both pass through the same gauntlet. AJ fails the test, and Tess passes the test. It’s really twins going through the same crux.
“I didn’t know that the twist and [The Mother] character existed until the moment they appeared,” he said. “And when [The Mother] appeared and they ended that chapter, I thought, ‘It’s over. There’s no movie here. It’s a 40-minute fun short and that’s not anything, so I’m done.’ And then I just didn’t want to leave it alone.
“It took me a year and a half to get anyone interested,” Cregger said. “Nobody wanted to make this movie. I sent it to everyone I knew, and I just had a universal, ‘It’s too weird.’ Everybody wanted to change the structure: ‘You can’t introduce a main character on page 50’ and all these things. Everything that everyone didn’t like was everything that I thought made it so special, so it was a real slog.
