The real horror in this movie ...
is the mother's IQ...
Did this idiot honestly believe her daughter can escape a creature that just outrun a moving vehicle? I mean what was the plan...? Let's say her daughter was obedient and did run while the mother distracted the beast...Then what? What made the mother so sure her daughter will reach safety?
They knew the creature feared the light, they could've waited in that ambulance till morning and protected themselves with the flashlight in the meantime, but nop, lemme get mauled to death and leave my young daughter alone to defend herself against a human-devouring beast.
Funny that the daughter (who is the actual adult here) was able to come up with a decent plan only after her idiot mother died and spared her from the distractive *beep*
Bottom-line of the story, don't drink alcohol it makes u dumb af.
