    It did annoy me how they didn't even like give recognition to the fact that they're kid was dead. He got shot there was a bit of screaming but you didn't see it, then after that it was like as if it didn't happen and they were just trying to get free.

    Yeah for a while i didnt have a clue who got shot, then you saw her get up and i was like eh then 10mins later you saw the dad moan and i was like and then they finally started crying when they were in the kitchen and she threw up when she looked back into the living room which seemed like they wanted to get free more than cry about there dead son....

    I'm your girl and your my man, its just an illusion.

    This i know.

    I only knew it was the kid because he had his shorts on. They must've not liked him.

    Yeah I was dissapointed in this.

    The plot dissapointed me the most and the characters were very erratic for the sort of parts they were supposed to play.

    Also wasnt keen on the old woman shouting so much.

    Haven't read the other posts, but was a decent film. Dragged on a bit. A few things i didn't like about it;

    1. When they talk to the camera.

    2. When the kid dies and the parents don't even mention anything about it or show any emotion about it for about 20 minutes after it happens.

    3. When he rewinded. WHAT THE FUCK!

    Spoilers? Nob.

    It's not hard to let people know your post will contain spoilers...

    Anyway:

    *SPOILERS*

    Just watched it. I really enjoyed the majority of it (Apart from the half hour after the kid was shot where NOTHING happens). The 2 killers were great, especially the clever one. He played his role brilliantly. It was good how they were cunts, but polite cunts. The rewinding/talking to the camera thing was different and I welcomed it. Didn't ruin the film one bit for me.

    It was tense and uncomfortable at times but I also laughed quite a few times. Good film.

    EDIT : I also liked how he kept calling 'Tubby' by different names

    There was a suggestion that the talking to the camera was to try and involve the audience to make it seem more real. When they are talking on the boat at the end about real and imaginary or something, the clever one was like but if he seen it it must be real in some sense. This is why he talked to the camera, to make it more real and bring the audience into it so the film must be real in some sense because people are watching it. Hard to explain.

    Also, when they rewound, it was because they wanted the audience to cheer or be happy that the bad guy killed, proving a point that people can be happy when someone is killed.

    If these are the reasons for them doing, i have no problem with it. As you said, something different.

    Whatever reason they were doing it, it was trying too hard & was nothing but full of fail. Way too forced.

    Just finished watching it. It was alright, not a classic but better than most modern day horror/thriller films.

    The clever killer was kinda funny at parts, played his part really well. All the characters annoyed me though to a certain extent. The woman fucking about with her mobile for ages. Both the parents taking about twenty minutes after their son was killed to show any sign of emotion. The way the two killers spoke etc.

    So yeah, it was alright. Worth a watch.
