In my opinion, she wasn't likable, didn't genuinely care for anyone else's safety, and ran away to save her own ass every chance she could.
I honestly thought the sole survivor would be Amber.

Why do you think she was awesome? I'm just curious because she was really unlikable to me so I just wanna know your point of view.

Yeah I agree. I mean I didn't not like her, but she wasn't who I thought who would survive. I guess she survived because Horror writers these days are trying to make their films less predictible (and if you notice usually only good scripts are made on small budgets). I thought Mara was gonna survive, then later I thought Amber would survive.
shareYeah, same here.

I'm just glad it wasn't Mara, that would have been extremely predictable and cliché. Besides, I thought Nina became more likeable as the movie went on.

"I'm just glad it wasn't Mara, that would have been extremely predictable and cliché. Besides, I thought Nina became more likeable as the movie went on".
I couldn't agree more with you. It was clearly expected to be Mara, Amber or Henry Rollins' character the survivor and not the bipolar-suicide girl. I'm glad they decided to do it this way; I think that's the only thing I found original about this movie. Even though I'm no expert regarding the genre, I like a lot horror movies, but I WANT to believe this one was meant to be some sort of a parody. I enjoyed the sequel more than the first part though.

Like the above posters have already said, one of the reasons she survived was to make the film less predictable by killing the sweet, innocent type of girl early on (Mara) and making the bi-polar, at first selfish chick the survivor.
Secondly, Nina is arguably one of the more developed characters in the film, and as the film progresses so does her character (especially at the end when she decides to save Jake instead of running off again) and she does became somewhat likable, so that is also another reason.

I agree on all of those points. I liked Nina more and more as the story progressed until the point where I was rooting for her to survive. Killing off the nice, sweet, jilted Mara was a good touch in that it demonstrated that, at that point, anybody could die.
What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

Because she was incredibly likeable and realistic. Just about anyone would have ran away rather than try and save everyone else when confronted by cannibals.
Nina was the most developed, interesting character of the film. Also, she was allowed to live because of how non-stereotypical and original it was.

Pretty much what Scorpion said.
Nina is probably the most realistic, fascinating character in the entire series with the biggest growth throughout. I never expected to see such a character survive, but I'm glad it happened. Take notes, horror writers.
Spoilers are supposed to be labeled or hidden when posting on IMDb message boards and especially in a New Topic title. For everyone perusing through the message board during the film, which is something I do frequently, the time that is already invested and the remainder of the film is completely ruined, basically a waste.
shareWhy would you look at the message boards if you havent seen it yet? You're just asking to be spoiled if you do that
