WHY did they not kill Liv Tyler?


Ok so.. they wore their masks in case their plan failed and they would have a description to give to cops, right? (or wrong?). Then they revealed their identities after they caught them. WHY? Even if they did kill them both I still don't get why they revealed themselves. Which brings me on to..why would they leave Liv Tyler alive? She would have a description to give to cops now.

No expectations, no disappointments.

Liv Taylor is still alive, she continues to act. Killing her would have put the actors, director and producers behind bars. However, we can presume that the character she was playing was killed.

Good to know. You feel better?

I guess you could look at it like she survived. I looked at it more like they just decided to leave her there to die. He took the cell phone and she's clearly pretty badly wounded, she's not getting very far and probably would of bled out eventually. i forgot about the mormom kids though, they might have been able to save her i guess.

The significance of showing their faces once they caught them was an obvious sign that they intended to kill them...that they had won.

They knew their victory was certain and therefore felt no need to hide their faces. Obviously, the masks were meant to instil fear into their victims, but they are also meant for hiding their identity. Say one of the victims gets away...no way to identify someone behind a mask.

Hood question but the REAL point is: Why did they realize this garbage?

Because generally that means to the victim, you're dead. You've seen our faces, you can describe us, so you die.

Re-read which of your questions I answered. You said "Even if they did kill them, why did they take off their masks?" You didn't say, "why did they take off their masks and then leave one of them alive?"

That aside, I always assumed they figured she was bleeding out anyway and it wasn't their intention to leave her alive. A sequel would probably state (if there is no Liv Tyler) that Kristen died shortly after from multiple stab wounds.

The killers didn't MEAN to leave her alive.
The real reason she lived is because the director is pathetic and went for a final girl to live JUST because she's a girl. (I have NOTHING against good final girls, like Ginny in Friday 2, Laurie in the Halloween remake, or Nina in Wrong Turn 2, but it pisses me off when directors kill off good characters, like James, just for being male and let the girl, Kristen, live just for being a girl) If one was going to live, it should've been James. He was far less stupid and Scott Speedman's performance was good, unlike Liv Tyler's abysmal one

Well... her name IS Liv after all, not Di.

LOL!
Doesn't make her character any less pathetic and her performance any less abysmal

They kept her alive so the ending would be wide open and they are probably hinting at a possible sequel.
