It's just a simple premise executed well. A family moves into their new home but are creeped out by weird happenings. Is it paranoia or is there actually something going on or is the guy just crazy or imagining things?
This film isn't about jump scares or gross-outs, it's about a perpetual feeling of dread and paranoia, and it's does it fantastically well. A good comparison would be with the first half of Sinister (2012), except without the jump scares and less sinister going-ons: You really cannot tell if there's anything supernatural or even out of the ordinary going on at all, or if it's just plain old paranoia.
Unfortunately the conclusion to the movie is a bit weak, but the 80% leading up to it is still worth watching.
