a study in under-reactions!


Wow, this movie was great for what it is, cheesy gory horror. But I couldn't help laughing at how blasé the characters where when increasingly horrible things were happening.

The main mom almost gets raped by the gas station attendants, and when she gets to her destination, she's like "omg, wtf, we should maybe call the cops".

Then the boyfriend gets hit in the head by a crowbar, and no one thinks, let's go to the ER, and let's call the cops, and maybe let's stay at a hotel somewhere far away until the gas station attendants are behind bars.

The teenage helper kid gets eaten by the wood chopper, and it's business as usual.

And lastly, there's a murderer ripping people to shreds, so Star and the loser musician listlessly call the cops a few times, and when they get no response, decide to do the nasty in a room next to a body and quite possibly a murderer.

Any one of these things would make me grab my daughter and put 10 cities between me and this fiasco.
