Would any man be this stupid?

Wow didn't think this thread would invite such emotion.
I know it's just a movie! that was my point, JUST a movie where (as I said)
The director had many more options but took the average way out.
Maybe some of you felt I was threatening the male ego, which is a bit obvious from some of the replies. But I was just asking, what would you have done?
I think men are much more intellegent then the guy in this movie.
I think most guys would have done alot smarter things, and not ruined or ended the movie. It would have added to it, like AH, I should of thought of that.
I should have made my question less emotional, I wrote it just after viewing the movie and I was just upset I wasted my time on what could have been a better movie. Though I guess it did it's job in getting any reaction out of me.
I need a refresher course on B movies in general.
Eden Lake was very good, very real, way better than "While she was Out"
I think it's a B movie, but it was a good movie. Off topic, sorry again.
Have a day!

Wow, these threads get heated!

Being a chick, I daresay that if I were in the situation of having three dudes with guns accost me and my boyfriend in the woods and managed to get out of the situation unscathed, I would've left. Vacation would've resumed in a nice hotel far, far away.

If I had stayed, no way in hell the bullets would've come out of our gun, our major source of protection.

As far as sex in the torture chamber, I'm not sure how any guy could get it up under the circumstances, having been whipped, beaten, flailed, branded and now faced with his girlfriend ("wife") all set up in medieval-esque stirrups and some toes missing. Not really a cause for the silo rising...

Regardless, if the folks had left at the beginning of the flick, there'd be no flick. So amen to the dude who said, so eloquently, "HOW THE FU*C COULD IT EVER BE A FUC*ING HORROR MOVIE?????"

Lots of different people would act a lot of different ways in said circumstances, but it's a creepy movie that needed certain things to happen in order to BE a movie.

(I still would've kept the bullets, at least...)

Right, but I have to have SOME intelligence in the movie...and what's with leaving out the "K"?

They could have just done that scene with the hunters intruding on them at a less intense pitch and the movie would have the same essential plot, except you wouldn't feel like the couple are such idiots for continuing their hike. It bothered me that the guys surrounded them with guns, basically threatened to rape her or steal all their stuff, and they barely discuss it after the hunters leave. Then she insists on getting rid of their only weapon when she was the type with foresight enough to bring her cell phone. She could have said, let me carry the bullets, you keep the gun, then they could have made a scene later where they try to get the gun and bullets in the same place though they've been separated for torture.

It makes sense that she didn't want him to pull the gun on the guys because they were outnumbered at that moment, but as a woman, if nasty hillbillies with guns were threatening me in the isolated woods, I'd want to have some kind of protection on my way out of there. Maybe it's the fault of the hunter guys overacting their creepy factor, or she's supposed to think that her dumb boyfriend is protection enough alone.

I've read the posts upon this thread, especially Ticketbooth's (thanks for the demeaning put-down on the male population and then in the next moment try to reitterate and claim how men aren't that bad), been hurt a lot have we? I felt that way too after my ex GIRLfriend screwed me over but I moved on, I suggest you do the same.....

But enough about who is better, men or women, they both are equal, they both have their bad seeds in their respective populations and moving onto the the actual topic at hand....

I'd like to mention that the reason Mike would not do as Ida and Clyde wanted was because in no uncertain terms, they would NEVER hand over a child of theirs to a bunch of psychotics, I actually applaud them on that and believe me, that isn't by no means "male ego", it is human nature. Would you want a normal born child that you gave birth too and have it raised by a looney couple? I sure as heck wouldn't. Also Mike raised a valid point, when he had done the deed so to speak and Sheryl becomes inpregnated, Mike would be killed. Then as soon as Sheryl gives birth she too would be killed, it is obvious, do you think they'd just say "run, run free, you can leave now" and risk being reported, especially when they know Clyde works for the park rangers.

As for "faking" it, you all need to pay attention because Ida checked Sheryl, she would know if they did or didn't do it, that is why Mike told Ida "I wouldn't bother checking, nothing happened".

Astounds me how people watch a movie and think so far off the mark it is almost scary. I also like how people say "If it was me I would do this or that", the fact is, if it was any of you, I find it hard to believe that you'd just crumble and say "here, here, I'll give you my baby, do what you will with it".

The last comment I want to say is I do agree it was a bit stupid to toss away the bullets from the gun but everybody in their life does stupid things, again, it is human, but a gun against 3 rifles which is what the rednecks had won't be much of a battle anyway. As for them continuing their hike, it was one bad experience, as I said in another post, Sheryl was not nearly raped by the rednecks, they were just ogling and perving, Deacon almost raped her later in the movie. So if everybody in life came home from a vacation due to some bad experience then I think holiday resorts would fast become bankrupt.

Actually, it's "really" and "daily".
