*Contains Spoilers*
This movie started out with such potential, your standard home invasion murderer movie but with a killer without a motive. The movie started out so strong, the killer, smart and sadistic planning carefully every move, eliminating the husband and quickly capturing the wife and tying her up. At this point, I am thinking, OK, here we go, time for this movie to set itself apart from the others of this type, and boy did it ever. The wife is absolutely without a doubt the dumbest character in any movie ever made. She escapes and gets a gun that was in a safe AND had a trigger lock on it, why there is a reason to have both, nobody knows, she moves quick and quiet down to the basement and starts digging through a tin of keys, doesn't even partially shut the door to block any sound, immediately drops the key and instead of picking it up and hiding to unlock the gun, she leaves the gun on the shelf and the key on the floor and hides in the room, the killer loses points here for not looking around the tiny room before going back upstairs. The wife now alone in the basement with the key and the gun should be able to easily unlock the gun, go upstairs quietly and shoot him, problem solved. But she does not. Wanting to maintain her title of biggest moron ever she sprints loudly up the stairs with the key in the lock but leaving it LOCKED!!!! wtf?!?! Obviously she is caught and cut on the leg losing the gun and locks herself in a room. More nonsense ensues and eventually she ends up on the floor battered, next to the still locked gun with the key in it while the killer, who is now catching up in stupidity, slowing picks out and admires a sword to kill her with, he comes back, she has (finally) unlocked the gun and proceeds to shoot twice, hitting him once in the next with a graze. He goes down slowly still holding the sword while she stands over him with 4 bullets left and refuses to shoot a man who is still holding a weapon and alive. She decides to stand really close, since apparently guns have a range of 3-4 feet and call the cops who she already called 45 minutes ago that hadn't shown up. While on the phone the killer is still alive and (shocker) cuts off her gun hand and then stabs her, kills her, gets up, changes clothes, and leaves.... It's like if they made her too smart it would've been a 45 minute movie because she passed up 2-3 easy chances to kill him and end it out of sheer stupidity
