The boyfriend was a sappy lunkhead

I enjoyed his character as well. So many jives at him by the director. Mad props.

Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm.

To her they weren't even together, he was just at the top of her list. But yes I wouldn't put up with her BS, and I'm especially not effing around with a paranormal demon for her xD

While I partially agree, I do not think I would put up with being treated so distantly after being with someone for months. It IS worth pointing out that it seems the daughter had issues with intimacy, and wanting to commit to a relationship, probably because she believed her father abandoned her family. She probably felt like if he married someone, they would just leave her too. She realizes at the end of the film that her father never actually left, he was killed by the ghost.

Also, while the boyfriend didn't get much development, he was committed to her, for more than just nookie. He cared about her, he stuck around through her family's crazy s***, and even though he took off terrified after being attacked by Diana, he DID come back with the cops, to try and save everyone.

He was a redeemable character. And I honestly hope if they do a sequel, that they leave the survivors alone. Have a different story, different characters. I honestly think this film is fine as a standalone, and as with MANY movies, does not warrant a sequel. In fact a sequel with the same characters might surely kinda ruin and dilute what was presented here. This movie told a self-contained story, and even though it was a huge bummer that the mom had to shoot herself, at least the story had a conclusion.

If the ghost is able to just come back after that, that is both a lame cop-out, and cheapens the resolution the first film's story came to.

But you know Hollywood these days. Everything needs to be a "franchise", because money.

Taking a woman's emotional and mental abuse caused by her own baggage with stride makes a man a good boyfriend? Typical. Be by her side, no matter how badly she treats you. Who cares if your needs aren't met! All that matters is her needs!

What's really sick is that you'd actually want to raise your sons to be so self-sacrificing for women.

Get off your soapbox while I play you a tune on the tiniest violin.

How sad is your life?

Goddamn. I hope you never have a son. What a sh!tty thing to teach him. Don't ask or demand that your needs get met after 8 months in a relationship. Don't bail if the woman refuses to consider your needs. Stay. Let the woman abuse you. That's the decent thing. Fcking psycho.

Luke's post is telling.. while i understand where he is coming from, he sounds awfully bitter like many young virginal men with internet anonymity who forget to take their meds. :) The movie guy yeah he was a nice boyfriend, caring and all that. I just thought they made his entire being revolve around Rebecca. This makes sense because he was a supporting character, but it seemed like he had no independence or purpose in life besides trying to attach himself to Rebecca despite being around her was was dangerous (because of Diana). Whatever, it's a cheesy horror movie!!
