(a little bit of spoilers) At the end there are two climactic scenes that will decide the fate of the characters. Instead of being on the edge of my seat in anxiousness awaiting the outcome I was actually standing up yelling at the tv. This is because of those two scenes (I'm going to do my best to describe the scenes). In one a hero emerges to help but instead of killing the guy who has three hostages and a dead body in the woods, he decides to cut them loose with his knife while the "villain" sleeps and is on top of the gun. He then dies because he was talking while cutting them loose. The second time is while a free hostage and the villain are fighting over a gun and the other two hostages cut one of them loose and instead of the one helping the other in the fight, all while the gun is five feet away from her and the "villain" is wrestling with other 20 ft away. Now free she decides to cut the other hostage free for a whole minute instead of killing the "villain," which again she has an easy opportunity to because she has a knife and a gun 5 ft away and the villain being subdued. So both previously tied up hostages run away while the other tussles with the "villain" and then they are sad and want to run back and help the other hostage when he looses the fight. If that was hard to follow i'm sorry, it's hard to explain without seeing just how stupid the characters are in this movie just to drive the plot forward more. This movie truly makes white teenage girls in 80s slasher movies look reasonable.
