The looping itself was very sloppy. There is a distinct lack of precision to things when they repeat, and even when things are different, they are different in the wrong way.

For example (incredibly mild spoilers) The first morning at breakfast the man complains to the bed and breakfast owner than the restroom was dirty in their room. The owner apologizes and explains that he'll have their maid take a look. The following morning (so the first repetition) before the man even says a word at breakfast the owner apologizes for the dirty restroom and says he'll have it taken care of. He's apologizing for a problem that he hasn't been informed of yet. It doesn't make sense. The dialogue already isn't great, but when you throw constant temporal inaccuracies it becomes much worse. This was far from the only example, but it just displays that very little care was taken to line things up which is like step 0 for a time loop movie.

There is also a big spoilers for the end of the movie that I could share, but without sharing it I can say that they tried to take things in a different direction than expected, and it could have worked if that aspect of the movie wasn't also handled very poorly.

The director Craig Singer seems to focus on low budget horror/thriller, but I'm definitely going to steer clear of anything he touches until I hear good things. And this didn't need to be a big budget movie. It could easily have been a low budget, high concept piece. But the concept was just so poorly executed.
