Although I see what the purpose of it was, I was so mad that they left the girl in the house! This is the reason I don't really enjoy slasher films that much, they just always seem too ridiculous to be true. While I know the movie isn't supposed to be realistic, I feel like it would be way scarier if the characters had any capability for rational thought. What police officer would leave a traumatized woman (who is in shock) in the same house where numerous people had just been murdered? And did they just give up looking for the others who had gone missing? Maybe I'm being too critical but I feel like the ending was a bit of a letdown.<br /><br />Another thing that confused me...who attacked Jess after she found out that the phone calls were coming from upstairs? We never see the killer but I thought she would have at some point. Despite the criticism, I thought the movie also had a lot of funny moments. It also showed the common stereotypes people had about sororities back when the movie was made.dbartushakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410232340590175164noreply@blogger.com
