Were you shocked when Mara...


...got killed?

It came as a big surprise to me, especially since she was by far the most likable character in the film.

Anyone?

It's not who you are underneath - it's what you do that defines you.

Yeah I thought she'd make it alot further in the film than she did.

They just didn't treat that character properly. It seemed as if they were going to use her as the main girl but the writer obviously moved on to another and killed her off quickly.

I found the main surviving girl better anyway. She seemed to have had been better written. But by the look of her in the beginning of the movie you would have expected her to be one of the first to be killed.

I think that was the point - they set her up to be the main girl so that it would be all the more shocking when she got offed.

It certainly worked on me, for I was very surprised!

reply

When they set it up with all the comments about her being stronger than she thinks etc I groaned and though here we go lame set up for the surviving girl.. then they totally went HAHA when they killed her, it was awesome!

be brave

what don't you *beep* understand???

reply

More movies need to do things this way to keep us viewers guessing, but it can't be overkilled or then we will always expect it.

Nice surpise indeed though.

I thought exactly the same thing! As soon as the "stronger than you think" line was uttered, I had her as the last one standing. Definitely.

Quite cool that they killed her off.

That was the point.

I was shocked too, I thought she was gonna get to kill her boyfriend off somehow. Or get some sort of revenge on him. OR see him die first and be like "HA you deserved that you b*stard".

Yeah, I was shocked when Mara got killed. I thought she was going to survive.

same, she had final girl status written all over

Oh YEAH...I was a lil' bit shocked when she got the ole' Axe in the head. At first, I thought (or, hoped)..that she MIGHT survive;(perhaps because she was the *most* innocent of the sinful, selfish, convoluted bunch...and quite a "like-able" character) and mayyybe she MIGHT be the one to be spared. Well..I guess not. 'Cause, (as all of us that viewed the film know), she was NOT to be spared. But, yeah...I was kinda' sad when that axe hit her head....I was like.."NO-OO-OOO!!...NOT HER!!!" Especially after her BF CHEATED on her!! Now, is that unfair, or is that UNFAIR???!!!!

It was surprising that she went so quickly.








That guy came to us for help, and we lit him on fire!
Move, and I'll sock ya one!

reply

I figured her for being one of the remaining survivors. Yeah it was shocking but her character should've survived.
