Ignoring the obvious

I enjoyed the movie for the most part (though I think it's going to be one of those ones I don't have a desire to see again except for maybe if it's on TV and there's nothing else on).

But one thing really bugged me about it. The fact that they kept going back to that skylight and yet. . .nobody thought to break that sucker and climb out. Really? They're going to completely overlook something like that?

I was so sure that Zoe and the kids would eventually do that considering that they kept showing shot after shot of it. But then it got to the end of the movie and. . .nothing. It was just really disappointing and even a little far-fetched.

Kind of... But you have to remember the overall point of this entire movie.

The Parents are the real monsters here, not Jack (The Dragon).

What that means is the boy can't really allow the babysitter to escape, because then their parents would be mad at him, it's the parents who he is really afraid of displeasing... Jack is more of a physical danger to him, but not the true threat of the film.

So, there was really no way she would be able to get out of that window, even if it was possible, because the other boy wouldn't have allowed it to happen.

The camera angle made it seem like that skylight was really high.

Sincerely, jnorgle, the person that can't think of a better signature than this.

I thought the same.Also why didn't the brother just bash his head in ,even though Zoe said not too.He should have then went with them and went to the police.
