Couldn't feel sorry for Anne


Hanging out in the house with all the dead people for all that time. I'm surprised the cops didn't show up and arrest her. I wonder what her story would have been. When she got cauaght, I was thinking, "Good. She should have left the house a long time ago. What an idiot."

What would you have had her do?

By the way I felt great sympathy for Anna. To me she was a tragic character of Shakespearean proportions; as a child she hitched herself to a broken horse and not only lost everything due to last minute second thoughts (after life-long unwavering commitment mind you), but suffered an immeasurably ugly end for her troubles. To me she is defined by her deep-rooted empathy so that you felt no pity at all for her scares me slightly.

Call the cops. Leave the house. Not take a nap. You have to be real clueless to take a nap in a house where a bunch of people were just murdered. Sheesh I thought this was pretty obvious.

Call the cops... and tell them what? Leave and go where?

Why would Anna run away when there's someone still badly hurt there that she feels needs her help? She has a major mother complex and she wants to give the victim some measure of dignity and comfort back or at least convey that she won't be tortured anymore.

Think about what Anna had just gone through... her whole world was blown up. Once Lucie died I doubt she even cared if she was caught and went to prison at that point.

Lol, no. This isn't Shakespeare, it's cheese ball movie making. She was an idiot. It would be tragic if she tried to do the right thing. Not hang around, dump some bodies, cry a bit, patch her psychotic friend up, cry some more, finally have a conscience when the lady isn't dead, find a chained up victim, bath her....do I need to continue?
The characters are purely idiotic. Even the 'villains' are laughably moronic. I mean their whole experiment or whatever it is.. is like something from the middle ages lol!

While the rest of the movie is not bad, It enraged me that the two girls just refused to leave the house where 3 people were just murdered.

Agreed. The world is a better place now that she won't be able to pass down her dumbass genes.
