Why didn't she tell the husband she was raped?


I just cant figure out a reason why she didnt say anything.

She didn't tell her husband she was raped because she wasn't raped. She just liked playing a cock-tease and she enjoyed Charlie's rape.

likely shame... actually it's common that woman don't tell... but i totally agree... it makes me SOOOO angry that she doesn't tell...

Shock, most definitely. Plus the fact that she flashed her breasts didn't help matters either.

Because Amy was a whore who enjoyed it thoroughly. Clueless old bastard David, you can't help but feel sorry for him. I would have dropped that Southern trash and got the *beep* out of there.

Because she wasn't raped by Charlie, she kinda enjoyed it. She was indeed raped by the other guy but, you know, she would have had to admit she had sex with Charlie...

She was raped by both men. But she knew her husband was too much of a vagina to do anything about it. He only grew a pair when his life was in danger.

Probably also because she expected him to respond with "You asked for it!" as he had before. She knew David wouldn't have the guts to deal with it anyway, because he really didn't want to when her 'other pussy' was murdered.

This single thing ruined the movie for me. I've never felt so unsatisfied at the end of a movie. Does the film intentionally leave the rape situation ambiguous for a reason? What was the point of making Amy look like she was somewhat still into Charlie? This movie sucked.
