unrealistic ending?

i enjoyed this film. i thought it was weaker than the previous 2, but hey it goes in a new direction and it isn't directed by Eli Roth.

The thing that really bugged me about the film was the ridiculous ending. And how completely un-phased the girlfriend was about witnessing a very brutal murder take place. Fair enough Scott had loads of built up rage to kill carter with the razor thing, but the girlfriend was just stood there smiling when blood was splattering everywhere. And they did it in their home which was on a suburban street so surely other houses would hear carter screaming? And how would they dispose of the body and clean it up? Personally if I'd have witnessed that i would be *beep* up for life. But maybe she's a sadistic bitch. Who knows.

i just found it un realistic and over the top horror cliche ending.

I agree but I saw that ending coming. I'm sure if Eli Roth and/or Quentin Tarentino was involved the film would've ended with Carter successfully 'scoring' his friends girlfriend. Oh well. I thought this movie was okay. Better than expected.

I'm Eli Goldsworthy and I approve this message.

Well,

I personally think the suburban area is plausible, considering that they were in what I believe was a basement which could have masked the screams of Carter.

Now as for the girlfriend, which I believe the director should have added to the movie, was the fact that seeing her fiancee burnt and almost murdered by his bestfriend. That added scene can build up her nonchalance over the killing of Carter, seeing as he wanted to kill Scott in the first place.

It would have been a better ending if the camera panned to a hounddog tattoo somewhere on her body.

I actually thought that's the way it would have ended. I didn't guess that the main character was still alive. I actually thought she'd tell him that she was a member of the Elite Hunting Club while they were making out and kill him.

I thought maybe the fiancee had managed to call her (offscreen) at some point after getting all the cellphones but before getting blowed up and so she was going to drug the guy's wine then carve him up or something like that.

It was kinda unrealistic as is, but some of the parts I take issue with are a little different. I can buy not hearing the screams from a neighbor's basement, I dunno what kinda places you people have lived, but I've never heard any noises from inside neighbors' homes in the sort of house it looked like she lived in. It was a bit over the top, though, I give you that, and cleanup and disposal would be an issue. Hope they watch Dexter.

No, my main issues with the ending are the timeline being wonky to make the ending work. The evil dude's scars were still very fresh, so it would imply it was maybe a day later, yet there's already an urn, supposedly with the fiancee's ashes that they're sitting there "paying respect" to? Seems like getting something like that under the circumstances he was believed to have died under would've taken at least weeks, if not longer for the investigation, let alone getting his apparent cremains released.
