The two men in the last story really creeped me out

I don't know why I am focusing on this part of the movie, but was anybody else really creeped out by the two guys in the last story? Of course it really was the woman who turns out to be the dangerous one, but there was something really unsettling... how the two men dressed almost identically, the way the blonde guy spoke in a very strange, slow and deliberate manner (or maybe it's just poor acting). Then later in the model home, when the other guy shows up without his shirt on, again looking just like his friend when he came out to approach the woman, how the two men interacted with each other (especially when the one guy said "you're scaring her" and seemed so sincere about it)... I don't know, just something really unsettling. Maybe it's just the fact that I realized they were planning to both be with the woman and went through the elaborate scheme of breaking into that model home to carry out their plan...just plain creepy! All in all, this movie wasn't the best, but I have to say, this was definitely a guilty pleasure and fun to watch nonetheless.

Agreed, I liked this one. I was creeped out by them, and was worried for the woman. Nice ending.

The guys were definitely made to look creepy, and something was definitely off about them.
But then, same with the guy who canceled the video date.

One of the nice thing about low-budget movies is that you can't count any certain level of quality. The fact that the guys were so creepy made me think that she was probably going to kill them, otherwise the plot would be too straightforward.... but sometimes in a cheap movie, a straightforward plot is all you get, so I wasn't sure.
It adds an unpredictability to the movies, which adds suspense.
You start looking at all the details.
Is the guy acting weird because he's weird? Or was he just written poorly?
Does he seem stilted and bizarre because he's a closet psycho? Or just because he's got a sub-par actor portraying him?
This sort of thing might be why I often prefer low-budget, B-movie thrillers. The glossy Hollywood stuff is just too predictable, because they're TOO good at their jobs in a lot of ways.
