this movie defies all logic

nothing in this movie makes any sense. the biggest logic buster though is the kills. not one of the guy's kills is physically possible in real life, I don't think. you can't kill someone with a vacuum like that. a hair curler isn't going to go through a human skull. a car door window will stop I am pretty sure when it hits something and not let you get into that situation. the blender in the sink is small. it's can't kill you. maybe chop a finger off at most. I really have no idea what the hell he did there. and christmas lights are not strong enough to the hold the weight of a human body. wtf at that scene. anyway, the movie tried to make him out to be like this ninja. but he was so clumsy. he would have been caught on the first night. also, everytime they hear a weird noise they just shrug it off. or like when they literally deduct that someone not in the family is taking the trash. and they just....go to bed. and then the end...it clearly showed him die. how would he survive like 10 gun shots and an explosion AND escape without anyone seeing? and why is he now in the house across the street? it's not his house? wtf is he doing there? this is a really dumb movie

Dreadful film! I was expecting better. I think I may have had this film confused with another, since more than one movie has this same title.

In heaven everything is fine.

I think the vacuum kill would be at least a little plausible. The suction would be enough to collapse both the old ladies lungs which would definitely kill her without immediate medical attention and reversing the flow would almost certainly cause her lungs to pop. The curling iron was pretty stupid webber was crazy not super human so him being able get through all that bone and brain matter is unlikely plus the iron would punctured the wall too. Car window it IS possible pin someone head like that (seen it done before) however the glass would have shattered when elbow dropped her head.

The thing that got me was the security system subplot. If webber was foreclosed on i highly doubt he be paying the monitoring bill also the security co. woulda deactivated the system when the house changed owners. On top of that the first time it was set off and the gates didnt know the PW the operator tells them set a new one which they didn't since webber was able to call off the police response.

Speaking of the cops the ones in this movie were mind bogglingly bad at their jobs. I'm pretty sure webber was still in the attic when they sweeped the house after the first alarm and even if he wasn't they would have found evidence of someone living up there if they had done a thorough search

Everyone's bitching about the A/C but yet they are in sweaters and hoodies. Except the babysitter, who is in short shorts and at night you can see their breath.

Good thing the old lady kept a tight seal around the vac with her mouth.

1) He kills everyone EXCEPT the actual family he is against, and
2) not a single one of them is missed or apparently has any investigation into their disappearances, even though
3) the nanny and exterminator's vehicles have apparently disappeared into thin air.

What about at the end.. when the mom shoots him.. but yet later never "finishes" the kill.. so he gets to 'escape.' nice.

Yep. I can't get over the fact that apparently he doesn't make any sound while he's up there. Not one damn sound. What a ninja!
