SPOILERS

When the gal starts to go "Rambo," she is able to light all of those road flares and have them all go off at once? How many arms does she have?

A military vet can't knock out a teenager completely with the butt of a rifle?

A grown man also can't knock out a teenager with his fists after striking him repeatedly? And then, he just turns his back and slowly walks away while superkid gets up and shoots him? Pathetic.

Rambo gal can set up an old kid's carnival building that quick?

I don't mind suspension of belief, but this was a bit much.

Just my opinion.

Yeah...this film got me so riled up, and that doesn't usually happen! Not one but TWO guys, dammit, stand there with their frikkin backs turned! Whaaat?

Cringeworthy.

[–] DarknLovely 9 years ago

LOL! All THREE of them turned their backs.
After strangling the boy from the tree (because THAT made more sense than shooting him), the woman then turned her back on him. He then had the chance to knock her out and tie her up on the picnic table.

Then HE turned his back on her while talking on the phone to his mum!

I watched this film to the end because I wanted to see how bad it could get.
Turns out...pretty bad.

I should've turned MY back to the screen while this mess was on.

In addition to all that, there's the fact that toward the end, the woman is tied up on the picnic table (with two little bungee cords or maybe the jumper cables around her shoulders and below her knees--which she could SO easily wiggle out of, by the way)--but she is NOT gagged--and the kid decides to take the phone call from his mommy. Clearly from their conversation you can tell that mom is totally unaware that she is raising a little sociopathic murderer...yet it doesn't occur to the woman to scream "HELP ME YOUR STUPID KID HAS MURDERED TWO PEOPLE AND IS ABOUT TO KILL ME TOO!" Come on!!!

I was laughing because it's so true, it would have been way easier to just pull the cords above her head to escape. I can only guess that she didn't want to yell in the background while he was on the phone because he could have explained he was watching a horror movie with his friends. Or maybe she wanted to escape instead of waiting on help to come.

I thought maybe she didn't want to be rude by disrupting his phone call. lol.

In this kind of movie the Mom would have shown up and been the queen murderer if she had done that. This movie is so full of script armor it's pathetic.

i agree w/ all of you. they all did the most ridiculous things all throughout this movie. when they kept turning their backs on the person they were attacking/fighting it was official this was a bad movie.

Yep, I agree with all the comments. Especially the military stud who smacked the kid numberous time with the butt of the gun, then turned around. What??

[–] heyteegs 9 years ago

Yep, to all. It actually might've been a decent movie had the writer figured out a better way to kill off these people. The turning around thing is just so ridiculous you can't take the metaphor ending (at the supermarket) seriously.

While I agree, and can't defend this movie in any way, the brother turned around to reload the rifle and shoot the guy who should have already been dead. Just saying, he did turn around for a reason.

My only question for this movie is this: Would it have been better or worse if the woman turned into a bear at the end? ;p

The owls are not what they seem.

OH MY GOD. agreed agreed....agreed. if you look on the message boards you'll see my opinion of this film under the topic "ugh" LOL. just in case you wanna hear my opinion, i stated a lot of what you said and some more.

[–] horrorgasm 8 years ago

Also like when near the end when even though she has killed 2/3 of the kids and has at least 3 guns at her disposal at that point, she instead hangs upside down from a tree, hoping that he would stand under that exact spot so she could clumsily choke the last guy with jumper cables. Why?? There's no need to kill him quietly when the others are already dead! Why would you not just shoot him?? Gahhhh this was so bad.

[–] pennilayne 8 years ago

yes, that too. ughhh. that too. thought i had mentioned that gem of idiocy.

Pornstache should have been the one to survive. He was the fittest of them all. I hate how horror movies always have the tiny little girl survive because it is not realistic at all. A skinny vegan would never be able to strangle some kid to death if a fully grown man couldn't kill him by smashing the butt of a rifle into the back of his head.

I know those were different kids, but still. I kept saying "stupidddddd" while watching this movie lol

I agree with every comment. Don't grab a gun? Grab a PIPE...the Port-a-John scene..

The husband character hit
a couple of times with that pipe on the kids head. You are not getting up fast with that. That kid should have been down. Plus the wife killed the one kid easily with a blow to the head.

Everytime each of the main characters turned they’re backs, immediately I said “he’s not dead!!” This is such a tired trope that really needs to go. It’s lazy writing!
