I had something of the opposite reaction, at least in the middle of watching it.

The jump scares were easy to anticipate, and the third-act turn to the supernatural was half-baked. (Though to be fair, it’s possible I was too preoccupied by the fact that Maika’s whole look/hairstyle/mannerisms strongly recalled an ex-girlfriend of mine. That was as unnerving as anything in the actual story.)

A big problem is that Cage just wasn’t scary or resonant for me. He always felt like a theater kid doing a bit, rather than an actor actually portraying a character. I’m not a Cage hater at all, but that does happen with him sometimes.
