Retarded rip-off of Ils.

This movie was just a bad rip-off of Ils. Possibly also a bit of Psycho, regarding the whole homicidal motel manager thing.

First off, haven't we seen enough movies, where one lonely cop shows up to supposedly help the protagonists but ends up murdered because of sheer stupidity? What stopped the cop from immediately calling for back-up on the police radio once he understood the danger and realized they had sabotaged his car? The engine wouldn't start, but surely the police radio still works even if the car engine is dead. They didn't show that the police radio was sabotaged, at least not as far as I can remember.

Why was the woman too damn stupid to stay up in the damn attic or closet or wherever that was where she was hiding when they killed her husband? Didn't she realize that since a cop had come by to check things and didn't return to the police station most likely they'd soon send out more cops to find out what happened to him since he wasn't heard from again. All she had to do was wait.

When will Hollywood understand that you CAN make truly frightening and convincing horror films without making the characters so stupid and having them make such illogical and dumb decisions?
