Because once you know all its secrets, the less enjoyable it is, and you're patiently waiting for it to get to the point.

But then it turns into a "why-did-I-decide-to-explore-this-incredibly-disturbing-hidden-basement" as highly-questionable decisions are made. Then Justin Long comes along and it turns into a #MeToo social commentary before introducing us to a flashback before going back to the creepy basement story line.
