Things just didn't make any sense


First of all, any movie that relies on jump-scares to be scary is lame. My fav. horror movie was Ju-On The Grudge for a long time, it was one of the first to scare me and I heard this movie is so scary, it keeps you up at night... really? Explain me these things that made no sense for me and I will change my opinion if you succeed.




- The first one, the succubus... meh, it was ok. Was the only one so far that made sense, but it was nothing special.

- The second one... Here things go down...

1) She is a lesbian/bisexual that hates her husband? Why would you be married in the first place then? Isn't it easier to run away with her girlfriend instead of doing this complicated murder with so many openings of them getting caught?

2) Why didn't the girlfriend kill him in the first night? If the goal was to get rid of him... why not at that time?

3) Why steal 100 dollars? It makes the whole operation a danger because he accused her of stealing it.

4) Why did SHE insisted in calling the cops? Not once, but TWICE? Wouldn't that have *beep* up EVERYTHING if he indeed decided to call the cops?

- the third one... quite lame, what she expected after filming him? To get out alive?

- the fourth one. Again stuff doesn't make sense...

1) So he lives like almost next door, and has two women, maybe more, living close to him and he NEVER gets caught by any of them when he leaves his room?

2) Why did the aliens let themselfs be known for days on end for absolutely no reason?

3) If the aliens needed her to be close to them to make her faint, why did the boyfriend encouraged her NOT to open her doors and NOT to look at them and NOT to make contact with them? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Now, I'm watching the haunted house one, hopes it makes sense. So far, the only thing this movie has going for it is gore, but for the rest it's just weak bones...

Okay, the last one was amusing... predictable, could see the ending coming for a mile, but it was amusing, the only one amusing.



Now, twist endings are fun, but this movie overdid it so much it got ridiculous

1) Normal people would leave their husbands and run off with their girlfriends. This woman is a sociopath. And who knows what other psychotic, bloody, murderous, evil things she and her girlfriend might have committed and will still commit. What really got me is how normal and sweet she seemed in the entire story up to the terrifying ending.


2) Who says the goal was solely to get rid of him? These two women are clearly sociopaths. They are sick and enjoying the moment, toying around like a cat with a mouse.

3) Why should the operation become endangered because he might suspect her of stealing it? All the girlfriend needs to do is plunge a knife into his throat when he's asleep. Why would he suddenly not go to sleep if he suspects his wife has stolen the money?

4) Like the husband said, there were a lot of drug fiends in the area. She knew that the cops either wouldn't come or, if they did come, would do a cursory search and then leave without really accomplishing anything at all.

I agree with you on your point about the third video.

Pretty much the answers to numbers 1-4 is answered in the scene where they go into the old cow boy town thing. Where she gets the card from the mining machine. It pretty much predicts everything that will happen. Reunion with a loved one, but be weary of them because its dangerous or something like that." Low and behold her former lover starts stalking them. I don't believe the wife had any intention of killing him it was kind of spur of the moment thing. I would guess that she woke up as he was being killed and was just kind of jumped with what ever was good. Either go with her, or be a victim of her kind of thing.

The third one, She was filming him to get him on tape hence the line "Why can't I film you" which I am guessing in every day life you can see him but looking through a camera he comes out as a glitch.


As for the aliens one, your big take away from it other then he is literally working for aliens, but your hold up is how he can live so close with out her knowing? Did you forget the part where he said we have people that can take care of it? Meaning it isn't just him who is doing it. So if he has some one else living in the apartment or what ever with him, they could be the one handling all the runs for food or anything else. You are thinking its only him doing it. Its more then him its many people.

the aliens let themselves be known because they wanted their hybrid out of her body it was ready. That wasn't the first time anything like that happened to her. I am guessing they have her impregnated.

You write an entire paragraph bitching about it but you're going to keep watching it?


You deserve to be tortured.
