Chrissie should have just left...would you?


The scene after leatherface kills her BF, Chrissie manages to run up the stairs and make it to the wide open front door. She's JUST about to get out, but then decides to go back for her other friends.

If it was me, I would have ran off, gotten help and hoped that crazy family would have just spent time looking for me instead of killing my friends.

I probably would have went back, convincing myself that there is a small chance of survival, and I'd try to stay with my friends. If I did leave, by the time I got help it would have been to late, and I couldn't live knowing I let my friends die.

And at that point I wouldn't have known if I was to escape I could have saved dozens of other people, so I still would have went back.

reply

Well I hope you don't get yourself caught in a similar situation then because you sure ain't gonna last long.

reply

I would've ran. I mean you want to save your friends, but that's a situation where you know your friends would rather see you live and stop the family than end up getting gutted in a rescue attempt.

reply

YES!! My friends and I were yelling at the screen. She's stoopid.

We are sooo fapping right now

reply

I would of ran the hell out that place. Sorry, but when your when you are running for your life you should get out there and not think about anything else! I would of def. gotten help though. All though Chrissie saw her boyfriend get tortured and killed, so she would of never been the same, she would of never of been the same, so maybe it is good that she died.


NO YVES ST. LAURENT WON'T CALL MY NAME. You talk about a good bullsh!t story HOLY sh!t

reply

Yeah i would have ran, at that point they didn't even know she was there, nobody would even have chased her. I realise my friends would die but even if i did go up and try to save them what would be the point? Unarmed, no idea what your doing against an entire family of freaks, one of which could snap me in two without even using his chainsaw. I'd have died trying to help them, like she did. So i would have ran and ran fast!

I would've definitely ran. They were screwed anyway, out numbered, injured, and unarmed. She's lucky she made as far as she did.

reply

This type of dilemma just shows that the filmmakers had the potential to have a truly tragic ending (Chrissie dying after staying to help her friends) but they ruined it with the ludicrous way in which they killed her.

But yeah, I woulda left.

reply

I can't say for sure, but I have a very low tolerance when it comes to fear. I honestly don't think that I would have the courage to go back into that house and save them. I mean, honestly, I would be asking for it if I went back. I'm a 5'1" girl who weighs 100-something pounds. There's a very small chance that I would be able to rescue all of my friends, and escape the wrath from a family of psychos. Not to mention, I don't function properly when I'm under extreme pressure, extreme fear, or anything along the lines of that. Mentally and physically, I don't think I would be capable of going back and rescuing anyone. I would get the hell out, get a REAL police officer, and pray that my friends were still alive.

I'm a guy and i would have ran. I would run until i find a town or a city with " Normal Folks " and then i would go to the police station.

I wouldn't try to save my friends with all those Freaks in a house with them.. it would be too risky. they had weapons, guns etc.. so it wouldn't be worth it.

reply

the sound of her friends screams stopped her from leaving. I don't know what i would have done if I were her. But if she left her friends only to come back and find them dead, she would have been left feeling extremely guilty for the rest of her life.

reply

^ True, but if it was me I just would have left and saved my own ass. For all she knew those screams were her friend being killed and going back in wouldn't have made a difference.

I was moving to Hollywood next month to be famous now I'm going to die with all you a$$holes

reply

Guys, when a girl just moment ago watched her BF got brutally slaughtered, and she got the chance to leave and survive, would not anyone just leave ? It is such unrealistic decision to make to hang on and save her friend like that.

Save your ass before it is too late, then you can ask for help as long as you are alive, right ? As for her friend, she is dead already screaming like that.

reply

It's just bad writing. After witnessing the horror that she did, she should've just run. They made the character so ridiculously stupid which is disappointing because Jordana Brewster is very hot and I like looking at her...wait what am I talking about again???

reply

I would've ran. I would've been like "fvck this. I'm going to get help. If they're dead by the time police gets there, I'll just think about them everyday and make new friends."

smh to the trolls on IMDB

reply

Why she did not contact the authorities ?. I could not understand that.

If your friends are kidnapped, is that not one does in the usual circumstances ?.

reply

^^^ How can she contact the cops ? there was no phone. Cell phones weren't invented yet either. if i was her.. i would have ran until i found something. ( Like a store, cop station, pay phone etc)

reply

She should've got Dean away from the house somehow before even thinking about going back in.

I would've ran aswell.

reply

She should have gone to a nearby gas station or diner for help.

reply

"She should have gone to a nearby gas station or diner for help."

You saw the movie right? There was nothing within miles of anything in the area. There was nowhere to go even if she had escaped. Just miles of empty road.

Exactly. I would've just run and run and run...better to die of dehydration with a small chance of being able to find help than at the hands of those retards.
