Plot flaw in suprisingly good movie
This was a suprisingly good film. The idea of a vengeful parent out to take revenge on the bullies that harmed his son is kind of tried and true, but I like the way they presented the theme in this movie. One of the most eerie moments was when Davie's dad camoflouged himself in the leaf pile. That was really cool! But, if the dad was out to kill these kids, then why just bop the male lead on the head with a piece of wood and leave him there to be found by the others. Was that supposed to be a warning? Did he think he killed him? Seems to me that if he wanted to kill them all (except for Lindsay) he would have used his very first opportunity to kill the lead when he was alone getting water for the others.
And whatsmore, why kill the women, who had absolutely nothing to do with Davie and just happened to be on the island at the same time? That was crude and totally undeserved. Along the same lines, the death of the tramp? I guess we are supposed to believe that the dad was actually nuts/psycho and was using the bullying to justify his human hunting games.
I still liked the movie beside what I perceive as plot flaws.
