*** MASSIVE PLOT HOLE ***


Just seemed this movie just then, 8/10 but obviously a very clear plot hole which I saw which then which I think could have made better. The FACT that the man or person being tortured in the barn is different to that person which was taken by the parent. What do you think?

It's unfair only in the way that you clearly see the killer alone in the van. The mjor plot hole IMHO would be the note about the tortured thinking he "deserved to die". Also I'm not sure someone condemned for such a trifle would be in the same boat, so to speak, as a serial killer, but I might be wrong…

They tortured him to the point it broke his mind and convinced him he really was the murderer.

That was not a plot hole that was the sick twist, I thought that much was obvious.

You aren't wrong, but the man actually did have amnesia from the car accident, that's why they were able to convince him that he killed their son, and that's why he left the note.

reply

They must have convinced him pretty good for him to yell out the name of a boy he never knew or killed. Especially while suffering amnesia!

It was kind of stated in the flashback when the dad mentioned the childs name. It's kind of figured the guy would hear over the conversation.

I think what the OP meant is that the man who hung himself in the barn did not look like the man who was tortured. I agree, but I think what happened is that when he escaped the basement he washed his face (this was while the woman was on the toilet) and without the blood he looked different.
