I struggled to find any shot that was interesting. Good visuals help these kinds of films immensely and so while the murdering got kind of tedious and ho-hum after about 10 minutes, I started paying attention to what the camera was doing, and it was just close-up after close-up, and really no one was at all interested in showing us the house, which could've been its own character.
shareI loved the way the scene looked with - I think her name was Karen- was in the moms room and had You're Next written in blood on the wall. It catches my eye with the writing on the wall next to her with all the damage in the room creating very cool lighting.
shareI don't often feel the need to comment on technical specifics (cinematography, sound mixing, etc) but in this case, I feel you've hit the nail on the head by calling the cinematography boring. The film was visually...amateurish. I loved the overall thrust of the narrative: for once, one of the good guys seems to have the upper hand over the bad guys in a slasher flick. That constantly kept my interest piqued. The cinematography, however, kept reminding me that the film was low-budget. I agree that they didn't show enough of the environment (including the house) in a meaningful manner. I would also add that the lighting was not good - scenes were often too dark and the lighting seemed oddly the same at various points throughout the house.

For specific shots I liked:
1.the Title shot with the guy reaching up to the words on the window in the opening.
2. Kelly looking away from the window when she realizes is somebody else is in the room
3. The shot of Erin sitting down next to Zee and Felix after they died
4. And I liked the slo mo sequences throughout.
