Quick observation

I scrolled through 6 pages of topics on this forum and didn't see this posted, so I thought I would bring it up. If it is up and has been talked about too much I apologize, don't all attack me at once troll people.

I thought it was a fun movie. Lil bit original, real predictable in parts, horrible acting (its a horror movie, who cares!?) but I had fun watching it.

BUT.

Anyone else get upset when you found out Leslie's back story was fake???

That kind of sucked for me. I really thought the whole 'child dropped in a lake' back story was awesome, and was kind of disappointing when it was revealed that he was just some obsessed nut job.

Fun lil movie though.

I think this is a great movie, but I have to admit, I felt the same way regarding Leslie's back story at first, too. There was a part of me that wanted more of a supernatural element to the movie, but it grew on me pretty quick. It really is very complex for a horror-comedy.

I think that was the point. From this movie's perspective, we see the killer plan everything out to the last detail. Had we seen it from the teens' point of view, it would have seemed supernatural to us. Just as the story and the newspaper were fabricated to create a background or legend.

I like that there were no supernatural elements to Leslie's work, that it was all just preparation and training. And it makes Eugene's (unfortunately deleted) scene that much funnier, when he's describing how he's survived being run over by trains, having his head chopped off, etc., through homeopathic remedies and meditations. Still LMAO just thinking about it!
