Ending
I see a lot of posts about the ending being a letdown or that people didnt understand it. What actually happens? Since my local cimema isnt showing it.
shareThe movie builds up to something hinted at earlier in the film but cuts to black before you see it. It's left to interpretation I guess, but I think it's pretty obvious what happens.
If you do want spoilers:
Max tells a story in the car about a kid (Which would have been Max) who used to stand in front of cars down country lanes and it caused a crash that killed a driver. At the end we see a wide shot of her driving full force at him, standing in the middle of the road and it smashes to black. Personally, I think she was so close by the time it cut that she did hit him.
So i got that himt. But the whole max thing was pretty creepy (ended up going to see it tonight)
*so max set up the whole fake hotel thing to lure and kill people? But why? And how did noone manage to overpower him? And how did he manage to get from place to place in the maze so quickly?
I saw this at Frightfest in London last August and the director explained that what Max was doing was subjecting people to an experiment "in fear". He wanted to see if he could provoke a total stranger into trying to kill him.

It's pretty rare when ANY film leaves an ending open to interpretation that doesn't piss me off a little (or in some cases a lot), but I actually really enjoyed everything about this. Probably because like the poster above said, she was so close to hitting him when it cut to black, it seemed pretty easy to discern that she did hit him. Great, tense flick!
shareAbout the 'place to place' thing, I was thinking that too. Then I thought maybe he walks through the actual forest (he knows well) and they connect to the roads. Sort of like the actual center between these skinny roads and ...ah..i dunno...over it.
