Why take the license? Thoughts? Overall I liked it 5.5/10 IMO

SPOILERS-Why did the guy filming them while they slept take the one guy's license? Was it just so they knew they were there? I mean they left the thing in the fridge- so that was a dead give away-and they posted the video on line- I don't get the license thing- any thoughts? Overall I greatly enjoyed it- shame a film like this no one wil see- and a lousy film ike Annabelle makes tons of $$$- this movie blew that one away IMO. Great small budget film- decent acting- makes you think- hats off to Bobby Roe- great work for a first time director.

Plainview: Stop crying, you sniveling ass! Stop your nonsense. You're just the afterbirth, Eli.

The licence bit was a little weird too me as well. I thought it would have went somewhere in the movie but it was quickly dropped. Want to be part of a bloody, gory, old school horror film? Check out www.supportourmovie.com A Christmas Horror Story: Kill Santa Kill

Remember immediately the next morning, the same guy was yelling "Dude, it's online"! I'm thinking that he got the guys name off the I.D, searched his FB/Twitter account and uploaded that to his page! That's what I got from it!

Exactly! It was to get his name. But it also was to freak the group out even more.
By *showing* them on camera that they took his license, it meant they knew his name....and home address.

I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.

I think it was uploaded on the forum or something... not his Facebook / Twitter.

Often serial killers keep mementos. I assumed, with the ending of the movie, that was why they kept them.

That was my assumption as well. The creeper people posted it on some forum not on his personal page or anything and from what I gathered, they already knew their names.

Meaning a trophy would make more sense in my opinion than he took it to get his name. I can't edit my other post on here for some reason.

I believe to show the group they were there and that they know where they live. Killers also keep "trophies". As for this being better than Annabelle. I don't think so. I have seen both. This film was more cliché' than Annabelle. To me, this was no different than any other found footage horror like V/H/S, Blair Witch 1, or Paranormal Activity.

I agree. This movie blew Annabelle away. It was lots of fun and had some good scares. I love hitting as many haunted houses as I can during the Halloween season.
