42 years? (spoilers)

At one point in the movie the brother says that it's been 42 years. That would make it 2008? MOvies just usually aren't set in the future, unless it is explained. BUt then the rest of the film refers to it being 40 years. It just confused me, thats all, nothing important.

I think the plot was OK, but not the best of the 8 movies. Even Wicked Little things was better than this one. Because the plot seems to be given away early, there is no ending, other than what you expect. The visuals in this film were creepy, thats the only plus it had as a horror film. Other than that it should have been a drama. The while "finding out their past" thing was not that great, i expected something much better, other than the father was meant to kill them. What makes the father so powerful that he can come back and make the circle complete? Fate? If that was the case, and the movie is just about fate, then they can keep the story going with millions of other stories of people who have escaped fate, that would be much more interesting than a father who goes crazy. I mean, make a story about the fate of some horrible dictators child who was adopted and come to find out was HItlers long lost kid and thats why he or she should die. I dunno, i just didn't like it that much.

Dead Silence comes out tuesday too, watch it instead of this one.
