One of the many things that irked me about the movie *SPOILERS*


Was that out of the hostages, none of the men survive, but FOUR of the women do. FOUR.

WTF? Seriously movie, I wonder why male actors decided that the script was OK, since the final product is bad and sexist as hale.

I love the movie, but yeah. That really bugged me too, lol.
One of the guys definitely should've lived over Gina. I kinda wish it was Daniel, but I'm not sure if that would work. So I'd probably go for George then

Every male hostage in this movie was useless. Not one complete sack among them. Except maybe for "George".

George wasn't useless. And Daniel sacrificed his life to save Annette and Julie, so I'd say that makes up for any perceived uselessness.

Having guns pointed at you makes a difference.

Yes LOL I'm the one always rolling my eyes at the tv 'what's wrong with you! There's a bunch of you, just attack him! There's only one of them!' but in real life that would probably make me the one curled up in the corner LOL

I've always wanted to see a movie were the last survivors are both women, instead of a guy, assuming they become a lesbian couple & kiss.

Yeah, NO.

CG GORE IS THE WORST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO THE HORROR GENRE!

While I didn't see the film as sexist, I did want George to survive.
