Twice I've tried to sit through this movie,


and I just CAN'T. What happens at the end? What's the story, the surprise twist? I made it all the way to the moment where the creepy old bearded guy is threatening the blonde girl about how she murdered his daughter. That was some bad bad acting and writing.

Oh boy, it is kinda convoluted and problematic. But the two story lines are not happening at the same time. The radio broadcast stuff was not live, but had been recorded the day before and was only airing while the farm stuff was occurring. This was because the only link between the two arcs - the radio engineer/internet date guy - was the Wedlock Killer.

My wife and I sat through the whole thing. The creepy old guy was actually the best acting in the whole movie. The worst acting was the blonde. I'm not wanting to be mean but that was some very poor acting. Her efforts to seem sad, upset, scared or generally freaked out all came across as a poor girl that had a lobotomy and is in a permanent state of dazed and confusement. The oversized wheel brace with glow sticks taped to it was an obvious weapon choice and when confronted in the cellar with a choice of copious weapons such as knives, chains, meat hooks, sickles and pitchforks our blonde hero decides on a quick upgrade of her wheel brace by duct taping a pocket knife, transistor analogue radio and a small torch to her already luminous weapon. I give this movie a 1/10. And that's being generous. I gave that for the wonderful scenery in some of the shots.
