I was really impressed with the acting, a little bit disappointed the BIG REVEAL wasn't a bit more subtle (but not terribly disappointed), and thought overall it was tighter than your mom.

Agreed 100%. Fantastic movie, zero fat on it, lean and cut and effective. The thing we kept saying after the show was "fuck, that was so CLEAN." I can't imagine changing anything about it, really. The plot progress was fairly predictable, but in an inevitable way rather than a dull way. It's one of the only horror/thriller movies I've ever seen where the trap feels truly inevitable - there's no point where you're like "DON'T GO INTO THE BASEMENT ASSHOLE," everything tightens in a way where his failure to escape is socially rational.
