Awful acting from both leads. At first he was more annoying, then she was more annoying, and back and forth all the way through the film.
Did horror writers forget how to endear the characters to the audience or have they just stopped caring.
god damn it, netflix this and Jersey Girl recommended in the same day.
shareI am currently seventeen minutes in and cannot take all the yelling in this car! I just had to come see if anyone else find it as annoying as I did. I'm glad it's not just me. I don't think I can finish it and it looks like it's not worth watching all the way through anyway.
shareIt's not.
And yes - he was the most annoying character I think I have ever come across in a film.
Jersey Girl is excellent cinema.
shareI thought she was way more annoying than him. All the screaming and crying, barking orders, jumping out of the car, barging into houses, taking the wheel and forcing him to pull over. And mainly I could not stomach the complete disregard for her kid brother's safety. What was he, like 13? She was an adult. She's willing to put one kid in immediate danger to save another? It's not brave. It's stupid. She suggests that the three of them could easily take the perp down if it came to a physical altercation. No. If you want to help, you have to be smart. Otherwise you're useless. The girl lived, but Sam and her friend died, and her brother was close to getting killed. I'm sure their families are thrilled now. After planting the mic, which was smart, the other moves they made were just dumb.
Anyone who will abduct, molest and murder a child will kill you for getting in their way or threatening to expose them. Someone like that doesn't value human life. It's pure evil. They were stupid to think he didn't know they were following and to approach the situation as if they weren't in danger themselves. The cops were dragging their heels, but like all of the other things I'm bitching about, this is due to poor writing.
And finally, once inside the house, instead of calling the cops and saying "we know now for a fact that a missing child is in this house. We don't just think it. It's an emergency and she's about to be killed" they break in and lollygag with no sense of urgency and look for the child in dumb ass places. I swear I saw the female protagonist almost check inside of a drawer.
