Quite misleading!


I hate these kinds of movies. I can separate fact from fiction but I have a hard time convincing myself nothing is going to happen on my way upstairs!

Something I noticed about this movie is all the deaths that didn't happen sorta.

The last one, was when Peter was trying to kill Molly. The whole time, you're being shown the gun on the stove and it's making you think he's going to get shot. Nope.

The gymnast...maybe the fan will drop and kill her, or maybe she'll step on the screw or the water on the exposed wire.

Roy...you'd think he was going to fall onto the spike or somehow survive...nope...he gets hooked.

Isaac, falls down and punctures his whole body with the needles but is fine. The fire doesn't quite reach him. The statue is what finally kills him.

These deaths are just so weird. Luckily, that means I can just put it down as fake and unplausible and hopefully not be affected by it!

The bridge scene may have affected me though. I already read or saw something about how like 90% of bridges in the US were not built to last as long as they have. I don't know how real that is, but I'm pretty sure there are bridges out there that aren't built for as much traffic as they get.

The best part about these movies is trying to figure out exactly how they die. & The worst part is that it's never in the way you thought it would be.

But that’s the whole point. Trying to guess how they die and being surprised is exactly the fun of it. Of course it is better if the red herrings are reasonable and the actual deaths could indeed have been guessed (i.e., not “come out of left-field”). One of the best ones was in part 2 where we saw a character have several potential accidents only to end up slipping on the pasta and getting a ladder rail through the eye; it kept you guessing until the end.
