Hrm at the risk of providing spoilers...
Bad/unbelievable acting. It's so frustrating in horror movies when the characters do the stupidest things, like split up and leave each other alone, don't stand up for themselves, don't try to escape, don't fight back, etc... CB radio in the barn? Come on.
Predictability. I knew the second his buddy walked in the house that he'd shoot him accidently... I mean he could have waited the extra second to verify who he was shooting at.
The general theme of the house being under siege, when all they have are minimum strength locks and big unprotected windows... They kept locking doors and pushing shelves in front of them while backing up against a big sliding glass patio window. Too unbelieveable for me.
I guess my biggest problem with the movie was also the point of it. I don't like a villain who has no motive, and the villains in this movie were out to commit a random murder on people they didn't know, ie. "The Strangers". I can't take a killer with no connection to the victim and no real passion to kill seriously I guess.
