what does the guy realise at the end? (spoiler)

when watching the film before he gets killed.

He realizes that someone else has to be involved in the killings because the filming is done by a hand-held camera. The big guy couldn't be in two places at once.

And they have an easy setup for the sequel, because in fact the movies had to have been shot by at least TWO people due to the way they were shot. Like the big guy would swing and then it would cut to another angle as the weapon connected. Unless the victims were nice enough to stand still while they switched angles, there was a 3rd party :)

Even though he is in shock, smoking a cigarette and watching the reels, it does finally dawn on him that at least two people were involved which he never picked up that clue the first time. Later, he looks at the reels in still time. Logically though, even if he had been running (like how well in his condition? His leg had been stabbed, and he was bleeding)--don't you think the blonde guy would have used the dog to track him?

thanks.

lol serves him right to die, he should have just run away.

[–] AllesToll 16 years ago

Sure.

And I agree. He was probably in shock but still, it was dumb.

see this is what i don't understand you knew the other guy was involved the whole time it wasn't a shocker to anyone i mean the whole movie i was like when is the blonde curly haired guy going to come in and kill someone and at the end when he just sat there you knew what was going to happen

[–] AllesToll 16 years ago

Yeah, we knew. But the kid onscreen didn't know the blonde guy was going to bust in at any second. ;)

Anyway, isn't the blonde guy the "Carver" of the title--as in, that's his last name? Way to be really subtle, movie.

That lad must've been in major shock to sit and watch the home movie while smoking a cigarette and then not notice the dog come and sit next to him, I mean he seems to figure out the hand held thing before the dog turns up so wouldnt you be a little like "Aaah something else must be afoot here, better keep a weather eye open for more bad men" or something?

Shock does funny things to people, if you ever been in a minor car accident or even a suffered a serious one, you will know what I mean. In many ways you are unaware of your surroundings.
Ryan is far from being his rational self, had he been given a minute or two more he might have recovered enough of his senses to make a run for it. At that point in the film he was physically, emotionally and mentally spent. I might have filmed that very last scene a little differently in that I would have had the projector running when he came up out of the basement so that he just kinda falls into looking at it.

Even if he was in shock, he had to getthe movies out, set up the projector (which was in the cabinet also),then sit back and enjoy the movie. That would have taken a little while, and to me, he almost seemed to be enjoying the movie! Still he should have try to run away.

Yeah, I noticed that too, Olivia. Wasn't he laughing a little as he watched them?

the fact that the long haired dude sent him to that cabin to get supplies should have at least tipped him off.
