How did this silly attempt at slasher type horror/thriller movie get such high ratings?
Started out promising. And this movie could have been interesting as a psychological drama looking at relationship dynamics in two morally vapid couples. Or even as an examination of latent racism.
But the plot turns are so absurd as to be comical. You've got the two couples standing on the porch having a debate about what to do next, while a man lies, unattended, bleeding, seriously hurt, in the bathtub. Then, for the remainder, there's more consternation over an infidelity than having killed a guy! Talk about moral priorities. For a movie like this to work have to care a little about the people being stalked.
Kept waiting for some plot turn at the end that would redeem this movie. Like maybe it was all a dream of one of the characters, reflecting her anxiety about her relationship. But sadly, just failed, manipulative dumbness.
