I lost sympathy for Jennifer when...


She killed Matthew. He clearly has a learning disability, was coerced by the others and is not fully responsible for his actions. I was very surprised the film makers considered it acceptable for Jennifer to kill him.

Pretty much what others said, re: He knew right from wrong, could've walked away, could've called the cops, etc.

One addition: Jennifer was showing him, in his last moments, what COULD have happened if he had been good to her, even maybe not coming to her a 2nd time to kill her. Instead, his choices led to receiving his just desserts.

Did his dick have a learning disability too?
