There's something deeply unsettling about The Beach House; even with its minimalistic approach, it packs enough tension that keeps you hooked to your screens.

Emily and Randall (Liana Liberato & Noah Le Gros) head to a retreat to solve their relationship issues, but they are unknowingly joined by a senior couple, Mitch & Jane (Jake Weber & Maryanne Nagel), and they spend the night together having drinks, food and edible marijuana. After their stoner trip, things seem to be strange.

Jeffrey A. Brown knows how to make us feel uncomfortable when Mitch & Jake intrude; you are not intrigued by them, but suspicious of them. It feels weird, like something that does not belong in the room, and this factor continues throughout the film as new disturbing things and forms of creatures begin to show up.

Even without jump scares and CGI, Brown manages to imbue horror into his world with squirming make-up effects, especially the scene where Emily's foot gets injured. The characters could've used some work, like Emily was introduced as an astro-biologist, a unique trait which doesn't seem all that important when the film begins to unravel.

As a performer, Liberato does well as the leading lady and plays the physical part of the character convincingly. She is also not stupid but is resourceful; it's just that her character's unique feature doesn't live up to the billing.
