Spoilers* As soon as the first woman jumped


Everybody absolutely everybody would have been straight out of there and ringing the police.

They didn't have phones.

Exactly that’s why i said straight out of there first, and ringing the police is second. They did have phones, just no signal.

reply

No signal, no phones. And if you remember Simon and his girlfriend tried to leave, but didn't make it out alive. The villagers had everything planned out well just in case their guests decided to get out of there quickly.

reply

Yes they tried to leave way too late, a day or 2 after the jump. The whole lot of them would have got out together if they tried straight away like i originally posted. All the men were old. They would have been outrun.

reply

Actually Simon and his girlfriend were really the only two that wanted to leave. The rest of them had their own reasons for wanting to stay even after the two old people died. Also, I don't think that it was that long after the deaths that Simon and his girlfriend wanted to leave. Regardless whether they all tried to leave, they weren't going anywhere. This whole thing was planned out way in advance by Pelle and the villagers.

reply

I know they are the only ones who wanted to leave, that is my whole point.

Everyone has different motivations. Not all reactions are what you, yourself would do.
