This could have had a great twist if it didn't tell you in the trailer that Abigail is the bloodthirsty vampire killing everyone. Instead the first bit of the movie is trying to make you guess who is the "undercover" one, who is in the house, but it's just Abigail the entire time.....like the trailer said. Okay? Waste of a fruitless plot point.
The "everybody makes horrible decisions!" cliche.
Let's split up while we're being picked off!
Let's continue to split up.
Let's split up until there's only 2 of us left. Clearly this is working for us.
Lambert is a last ditch plot twist. "Hey, I know I could have just said this from beginning and done this in a way that would have been over in a seconds, and I ALSO know I'm the one in the control and I could just open a window at any point in time killing Abigail, but I thought it would be best to wait until almost all of you are dead, then ask the person I lured in here for help. At night. I want to just fight her 2v1, though we could've just killed her during one of the times she was drugged into sleep, or opened the window when it was daytime, but this is much more dramatic for the sake of the movie!!"
"I'm glasses guy, and I suddenly for unknown reasons hate joey now that I'm a vampire, I failed to kill Abigail, she told me where I went wrong, then I failed again! LOL! So I can make Joey a puppet! That I also fail at. I couldn't be a worse last ditch villain than if I were Dr. Drakken from Kim Possible explaining my entire plan to my enemies!"
Also I'm tired of regular humans being beaten, stabbed, impaled, thrown through furniture, slammed into walls, and they just walk it off like nothing happened. The last fight scene was so agonizingly bad and long, I was actually getting kind of annoyed in the theatre. The drama of the violence loses all meaning when regular people just won't die from literally anything.
Stabbed? Ah well.
Impaled? Pull that sucker out and keep going! You'll barely even bleed. We save the buckets of blood for stupid scenes, like getting turned into a vampire over the course of 20 seconds for the projectile vomiting.
Broken bones? Doesn't happen in hollywood lala land.
I'm begging someone out there to make a good horror movie.
