Well I saw this last night with my brother in a massive cinema and there were only about 10 other people in the audience which helped with the creepy vibe of the movie. The movie is very cool and is nice and scary.
Well the rest of this is going have spoilers so read at your own risk, highlilght to read.
You still with me? Cool lets go.
I can understand why the ending of the movie pissed off a lot of people as it was a very ‘Hollywood’ ending with Liv still being alive, up to the end the movie was great in fact i think the movie could have easily ended with the scene where Liv comes out of the bedroom and the guy in the mask slams her into the wall gets dragged away and you hear her scream. I have been watching horror movies for years and years and can easily say that this movie scared me and had the hairs on the back of my neck standing up most of the movie. The movie did not have a lot of dialogue and relied a lot on location, people stepping out of the dark into shot and the feeling of tension with not knowing where the killers were either in the house or outside the house. The way the movie was shot was different to as it was not handycam style but there were a few shots that looked like they were filmed from the point of view of the killers which was cool.
Now there were a few points at the end that bugged me and I wanted to get opinions of others, first of all they take off the masks so you know they are going to kill them cause if the you see the masked killers face you are going to die. However they spend the time for each one to stab both Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman several times as when the pull out from the house you here them still being stabbed and then they untie them and pose them but do not bother to make sure they are dead! Next they leave the knife behind that they used to stab them with which they handheld with out gloves so all three prints are on that along with the shotgun.
