Weird.


So the first half hour was brilliant, then up to about an hour was still pretty good, then the ending... WTF?

I didn't get it at all.

SPOILERS********************************SPOILERS********************************SPOILERS*****************


During my initial watch I thought that they had pulled that Bullsh!t that George was an inmate there in the nut ward the whole time & everything we saw was just in his head(I hate when they pull that), Anyway I was totally wrong upon going back & rewatching the end George is in the hospital with a case of post-tramatic stress disorder from the events that happened, he lost his mind & kept seeing Harry Green everywhere while in truth he was one of the first to die. When he was in the hospital it was for the PTSD and his girlfriend was consoling him saying oh you'll get better soon, it could have happened to anyone. Some things in the movie from Georges perspective may have not even happened, it was left to the audience's interpretation. So that wonderful scene of the finger eating never actually happened, but it was still awesome,lol. Did that clear it up some?

Yeah, I got that Harry Green was dead all along and that the scenes with Harry never really happened.

PTS makes sense then. So that was why we had that nightmare vision at the end, where his friend was chopping his hand and he kept repeating, "They're in the building!" He was still in shock and reliving it.

Thanks for clearing it up a bit. I still think the last 20 mins let the movie down, compared to the first half hour.

Yea that happens all the time in the horror genre, it's just hard to get past an hour without losing steam. Or your audience loses adrenaline,dopamine or epinephrine after a while.

I can agree, but I think it was also possible that the gas contributed to the hallucinations in the end and could have even caused permanent brain damage that exacerbated the problems of the PTSD.
