my take on the ending....

I love watching movies where there is a psychological twist at the end! when I watch the ending I saw the real child killer xscape from the van, and how he came upon the house that they were torturing the other man and was glad it wasn't him...during the trial, the killer has shaved his
mustache off, so he looks very similar to the tax evader. it looked like the man who hung himself was much younger than the killer himself.

here is another theory though:
the killer saw that that man was being tortured and wrote that note and left it in the shed and the tax evader found it and had it in his hand while he hung himself?

as far as being able to torture somebody goes I will tell you that I have an 8 year old boy and have something like that should happen to him and I were in their shoes I would not hesitate at all to torture somebody who tortured my boy!
I believe that just killing somebody isn't enough. I am a firm believer of the death penalty and I wish is that each person that were killed in prison could suffer the same way that they have killed somebody else!

but I do believe that they torture the wrong man in the end...
maybe I mean you go back and watch the movie and look at how similar they look alike maybe they did torture the right man!

If something happened to one of my children, I would have no problem being ok with the legal system doing what they must . Then again, I am civilized and better than those that want to be vigilantes. Besides that, I behave based on logic not twisted emotion.

Nope. They tortured the wrong man. I knew the whole time that wasn't Bill Moseley on the table. So unfortunately I saw the ending coming a mile away. But the man had amnesia and wrote the note before hanging himself because he believed he did.

First of all, it's not "the man hung himself," it's "the man hanged himself." It's easy enough to remember.
"The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,"
and
"The prisoner was hanged at dawn."

Second of all....if someone killed my child, I'd follow the law and let the law punish the murderer. I might't be satisfied with the punish meted out by the court, but I'd have to learn to live with it.

I could never murder someone, let alone torture someone.

This movie is a cautionary tale. Never ASSUME anything, and never take the law into your own hands.

By the way, is it possible to edit my posts when I make mistakes??

That should be mightn't, not what I wrote, lol.

Jesus no one came on this board for a lecture. If you have an input about the film give it but leave your grammar corrections to yourself.

This is one of the best posts I've seen that sums up this movie.

"The Tortured" is a good title for this because it's really the couple that are the tortured ones especially after what goes wrong. It was good direction in that the husband and wife flashed remorse across their faces while they were doing the nasty little bits with that soldering iron and the IVs.

I've never had children but love my young nieces and nephew dearly and while it's tempting to think about this type of retribution if someone tortured and killed them, if it ever truly happened I would get hurt more than the person getting tortured by exacting this kind of revenge.

So yes; it's best to let the legal system and the person's future cellmates and fellow inmates mete out justice. It's well known that child molesters/murderers do extremely poorly in prison.

Blindboyman, I don't care if you don't like my grammar corrections. I'll write what I please, just as you did.

If you're going to correct someone's grammar in a post from two years ago, at least make sure your post is free of typos and errors as well.

[–] poettesse 8 years ago

Yes, that's why I asked about editing, because I caught my own mistake.....smarta$$.

The ending sucked! It totally ruined the film it was as if the whole torturing was for nothing & a complete waste of a film! It was a major turn off!

If you ask me, the ending was really the whole point. The parents made a terrible, irreparable mistake by torturing the wrong man and driving him to suicide. Very easy to interpret as a cautionary tale about revenge and self-administered "justice."

[–] vengeance20 8 years ago

Well no, the ending killed it for me, well the entire film actually. They did, but they assumed it was him, & to be fair any parent would do the same, because the justice system in this day & age sucks!
