4 minutes in and I wanted to Kill Penny myself


I almost took a meat skewer to myself in my living room. This movie was annoying and difficult to sit through. It becomes almost a contest to see if you can force yourself to struggle through it. I mean, you put soo much effort into it that you feel like it just wouldn't be fair to yourself to actually quit and turn it off. Totally unrealistic and one of the worst endings of a film that I have seen in years.

Oh praise the gods, someone else has already started this thread. Penny is the most annoying, unsympathetic character ever on film. I wanted to pummel her face several times within the first 30 min of the movie (full disclosure: I am a docile gay man who loves damsels in distress so for me to want to smack her there was some major *beep* energy happening with Penny).

I guess it's possible that people can have phobias of cars and can have panic attacks in the middle of nowhere when what they should be doing is getting in the damn car and driving away. But this movie has shown me that I hate those people, especially when their lives are in danger and they still insist on being a do-nothing bump on a log. She deserved to die and I hated this movie.

LMAO!! If a docile gay man wants to pummel and smack the living crap out of you then you know you're in trouble!

I just caught this movie on Fearnet OnDemand, thankfully for free, and I'm SO sorry I clicked "watch this". Could there be a more annoying, unsympathetic, whining, overacting character? I was wishing I had been cast in the movie so I could have killed her myself, at least the escaped lunatic serial killer whatever he/she/it was had the common decency not to whine for 90 minutes.

Seriously, I wanted to slap the taste out of her mouth for being so annoying. The movie sucked and it was made that much worse by her constant crying and whining. I can't tell you how many times I rolled my eyes though this pile of crap.

A penny is all it's worth. Dreadful sums it up. If I could take stars away....

I love Jesus....but I drink a little.
