What a cheesy, unbelievable waste of 85 minutes. After watching Underworld, seeing Kate's Zoloft/Prozac addicted girlie girl character was more painful and disappointing than the plot and ending of the movie. Luke Wilson's character was no better, doing stupid things like cutting himself while breaking a mirror to make a weapon that he never uses and generally being as effective as a rat in a maze, running around in circles. And what is up with this side-plot of the dead son that drives the couple to a divorce that they're driving home to finalize? It takes the threat of death for Luke to tell Kate that it wasn't her fault and he loves her? Of all the ridiculous scenes... And the fact that he remains alive hours after being stabbed multiple times pushed suspended disbelief to its limits as did the scene where the second 911 operator says, "Duh, didn't we send a deputy out there already?" Must be the Keystone cops that don't send help out when their deputy doesn't check in after responding to a 911 call. As satisfying as it was seeing Kate finally grow a backbone and a will to live and manage to kill all her sadistic assailants, this transformation from her former passive-aggressive, whimpering, Prozac-popping self just wasn't believable either. The movie would have been much better if it stuck to a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" mentality where no matter what the protagonists did, they were screwed... and I have to say that the protagonists in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" were much more likable than Kate and Luke. At least if the movie pushed it all the way and Luke was really dead and Kate was blown away even though she managed to take out a couple of the guys, it maybe would have been more believable and would have retained more of its shock value.
Aside from all of the above, the gratuitous extended snuff film footage in the Special Features section is yet another reason to stay away from this one.
