This movie utterly SUCKS, and here is precisely why:

Why would you want Hayley dead? She was the victim.

Sarah Silverman Is Magic

Amanda Bynes is hot, Lindsay Lohan is not

She didn't castrate him, she just showed him a video of a castration and numbed his lowers how do you think a recently castrated man could get up and chase someone around the house? She even explains in the exact words I use that she didn't castrate him. You saw her get beaten up pretty badly when he shows his true colour and she looks like she realised this isn't a game. I felt bad for the guy as no normal person enjoys seeing someone being tormented. I think you got something different from this movie than I did. Plus this is a teenage girl hunting down peados, that tells me she has been abused, seems like someone stuck in their own hell to me. I loved this movie... And I'm nothing that you suggested would be my demographic lol.

Yep she DIDN'T castrate him. He sits up after he gets loose, feels downstairs and says "I'm all here." She just wanted him to go through the mental agony of thinking he was being castrated.

But the point of the movie IMO was for Jeff to learn that there was consequences for his actions. "Haley" was just the method used. However as much as I hate Jeff for being a pedophile and wanted him to get his, I also wanted Haley to get hers as well because she is annoying as hell.

you should not project your anger management issues onto other people's work of art.

The explanation is simple really.
Life isn't like most big budget Hollywood movies, karma doesn't really exist and not everybody gets what they deserve.

Deal with it.



By the way, Jagten would be a better movie for you. But if every movie had the exact same message, things would get really boring really fast

Wow, lol. I've never seen someone swing and miss so hard. I'll never understand why people feel the need to decide what a movie is supposed to be or why everything has to have a point. First off i didn't think it was a very good movie. The dialogue wore me out, it was very generic. Haley not dying had nothing to do with the filmmakers not having balls. They don't make it clear whether she's good or bad. Right and wrong is perception and they leave it open. Her dying would have no point, we don't even know who she is. How can any joy or meaning come from a character with an unknown allegiance dying? Jeff was clearly a violent pedophile, his death carried a bit of weight with it. She didn't castrate him btw. She didn't learn any lessons, who cares? How would that have enhanced the movie? Once again, we don't even know who she is. Her learning lessons would also disrupt the ongoing mystery of her character. It would hint at her true intentions and personality which is a HUGE part of the movie. It is the movie really. You can't decide what you wanna see and then be mad when you don't get it. I don't know why you think this is an attempt to please people's pedophile hatred. If that was the case Haley would've been made the clear heroine. Milked for views? That makes no sense, again, she would've been made a much more likable character if that was what they were going for. Isn't that obvious? This movie is very abrasive, there is zero catering going on. The "substance" of the film is who to side with. Who's the good guy. That's the constant debate you have while watching. Once they start showing that Jeff most likely is a pedophile, they also start showing that Haley is a bit nuts. Keeping the constant theme of perception going. That's why it ended how it did. There is no answer. At different points you felt sympathy and hatred for both characters. To me its a good representation of how hard it is to decipher what side of an issue to be on and the fact there are no right answers. Is the death penalty ok? Should drugs be legal? Etc. There are no correct answers to these questions, just different viewpoints. It's all chaos and we do our best to make sense of it . Which is exactly what this movie is. A bunch of nuts information being thrown at you ultimately leaving you slightly aggravated with no definitive answers. This movie has no destination, it's a ride.

@Nothing is Forever. Somehow you assumed OP is male. OP NEVER stated he wanted to see the alleged pedophile kill Hayley. He clearly meant that the films message is not resolved in any responsible manner. OP's comment is balanced, well informed and as neutral on gender issues as can be. I salute OP. Hayley broke many laws in pursuit of her idea of justice. There was no court, no evidence. Vigilante at large. Whether she should have died or not is debatable, but she should have faced some consequence before the credits rolled. That would have changed the film's character immensely for the better. Switch gender roles (oh yeah, women never hurt kids, sure) and HE would have been deemed a rogue vigilante for torturing an only alleged abuser and surely would have died in the end to portray balance. But that's just how Hollywood roles on gender politics. Whatever, it was entertaining in a mindless, lets (producers) be edgy kind of way...but I too raged that Hayley faced no consequence(s), implied or otherwise. Nothing more than fear-mongering, radical-feminist mysandry in the end. Films of this sub-genre degrade women and send a dangerous message to youth.
