When Anna and Paul are meeting their friends, you could consider that her husband got his leg broken and that Peter holding him and the Kid as 'hostage'. She also just saw that their dog got killed. Shock, fear, naive thinking nothing bad will happen. Its kind of explainable, but i understand what you mean.
I also found it even more unrealistic when they sit in front of them in a couch, knowing they gonna get killed and they do NOTHING. Fuckin fight ... its your last chance, god damn! :D
Locking Doors in Germany/Austria. Normally when you inside your house, you don't lock it. But older (shown) generations are/were tending to lock the door when it is late at night. But when you at home, you mostly put your keys either inside the lock, on a 'keyholder' next to the door or leave it inside your jacket and put in the wardrobe next to the door.
No i didn't saw a scene explaining, where they got the key and when exactly they locked the door. But i also didn't find it necessary to show it.
Maybe the 'keyholder' is a german thing, because i didn't found an english translation for it. Its called "Schlüsselbrett" in germany, and is still very typical in houses. It is a dedicated small board, placed on the wall next to the door. Which holds all keys, ready to pick up when you go. Not shown in the movie. But for me it is not a plothole, when intruders are in your house, they could easily find a keychain.
In Germany your door lock can be accessed from both side with the key. As i know in america you mostly have just a turning switch. This is mostly reserved to public spaces (Toilets, Hotel rooms, Offices etc.).
But its getting more a thing now, especially with different smart home solutions. The movie is from 1997.
