Spolier About Joe and Corey...

I take it that Joe's life was spared because she was pregnant and somehow the killer knew that.

I was starting to think that Corey set the whole thing up. When Joe found him, he seemed to have an underlying tone to everything he said and was almost expecting him to say something to Joe like "You all fell for it..." and find out that he was the "killer" all along. Joe said that she heard him being killed, but did she really?

I guess that was the point of the movie: to make you think. It had a bit of Blair Witch to it, moved a bit slow and the ending kinda sucked, but other than that (LOL), it wasn't bad. I would say better than the crappy high budget "horror" movies I have seen lately.

My take on it was that Jo was crazy, and was herself the killer. Corey was never there in the house with her, because she heard him getting killed way before that. She just imagined Corey was there. However, that is just my guess.

If im wrong, then I agree with your guess, that corey is the killer.

Its definitely one of them.

Did anyone see the man in the red shirt in a flash frame shot of when the lad in the back seat was watching the video they shot out the back window earlier? Am I wrong in thinking they were all in the car when that happened? Maybe when Corey went outside he took care of that guy and became the killer?

It's a very creepy movie and I loved it, really hope it doesn't fade away and part 2 never comes, there has to be a proper ending.

That, and I LOVE Bruce Davison - just sayin' :)

At first I considered that Corey could be the killer. Then I remembered the guy in the rear window on the tape. And yes, they were ALL in the car when that happened. Once you eliminate Shea Gunther as the killer, since he was already dead, it leaves you saying, "WTF???" There's really no clues as to who the killer could be! Seeing the killer on the tape basically eliminates any of the 4 kids as being the killer.
When I saw the, "...to be continued", I was like, "WHAT?!?!" Then I saw who the Executive Producers were and that explained it all! Robert & Patricia Englund! aka Freddy Kruger & his Wife! I should have recognized Insomnia Productions from back when I spoke to Patricia by email a couple years ago!

It could have been the pregnancy (I can't really think of any other reason for it) or something that's supposed to come up in the sequel. That thing we'll probably never see anyway, so yeah...

As for the killer, pretty sure it was supposed to be the ghost of the original guy. All their clocks froze at 11:14 when they were on Gunther's original property, which is the same time he was flattened by the semi a couple miles (or however far) away.

Also, when Joe hears the screaming when she is walking along the tracks, the Netflix subtitles say that she hears Scott screaming. Not sure if it's a mistake or what, but considering the time frame that would make more sense then her hearing Corey.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

I'm still going with Corey with the guy standing back in the road a red herring of sorts. Either that or Trevor Morgan is an awful actor. Corey's reactions were odd, I'm hoping on purpose.

Okay, so I'm going to make myself look like a total noob here. But, is there no sequel? Why does it say "to be continued" like the Matrix Reloaded then? Is it never going to be continued? Is this a new trend?

I think the guy who shows up behind the car in the video IS the killer, because if you fast forward to the scene in the barn after he kills Corey and he is walking towards Joe, the scene where he is dragging her across the yard, and the scene after he steps back from putting the knife up her shirt and turns off the light, and turn the brightness level all the way up on your television so you can actually see what the hell is going on, the killer is wearing the same plaid shirt as the guy behind the camera.

Now, whether he's a real nut job or the ghost of the dead guy, which I am leaning towards because of the time stop, I can't say.

Shay Gunther was killed by the tractor trailer truck at 11:14, it was called in by the truck driver at 11:15. The clocks all stopped at 11:14. I'm thinking the killer was Shay Gunther's ghost, coming back to get revenge on the son of the man who put him in jail. The other kids were just in the way. But once it was known that Joe was pregnant, now the ghost can wait until Munger Road II when her kid is born and it can get revenge on the grandson of the man who put him away. If the ghost had killed Joe, there never would be a baby, so no further revenge.

I've got two good posts in me and I just wrote my third...

I fell asleep and have no desire to re watch this. Was there a scene in which Joe told Rachel she was pregnant? The only thing I remember her saying is that she started getting college stuff. I thought that was supposed to explain her mood.

Man, Joe was the worst actress in the bunch - annoyingly so.

The point of the movie was to get you hyped up for part 2 so you would spend more money. It was a decent movie right up to the end. It needed another 30 minutes to give it a proper ending. This is absolutely horrendous what they did to this movie. It wasn't trying to get you to think. It was trying to get you to shell out more money.

By the way, I am right behind you.
