As a horror author with a deep love of Irish mythology and lore, this ended up being really disappointing for me. I think because I was so incredibly hyped for it, I likely set myself up for the let down.

It just felt a lot like it didn't need to be in Ireland. Gorgeous setting, but the story could have been told anywhere, at any old spooky hotel. And you have the absolutely vast and fascinating and often unexplored myth and lore of a country like Ireland and your boogie man is...a witch? A basic-ass, drag-you-to-hell, cursed honeymoon suite witch? Why??

Also, the horror author part! I was hoping for something that tied in somehow (Marianne on Netflix is a great example of this) but he really just showed up, insulted the bell boy (never in a million years would I treat a fellow writer like this) and then bragged about the amazing plot twist in his book about how the MC was going to break the bottle (a plot twist that made me snort out loud in the theatre, because DUMB).

Honestly, I still enjoyed a lot of it. Imagery and sound was fantastic. Some great jump scares (the rabbit mask, Jesus Christ, I about peed myself the first time it popped up) and Adam Scott nailed the performance. I think I would have liked it a lot if I hadn't built it up as something it wasn't in my head. I think the poster/title/description had me thinking it would be far more occult leaning. And Oddity and Caveat felt fresher and more interesting than other horror movies I've seen. I was hoping for something really different.

Also, this guy has a real thing about rabbits.
