Title: It wasn't the hacked off leg that made this lame
Product review: I amplify the many reviewers who complain about the plot twist at the end. Until this cheap, audience-cheating cop out, this was an effectively gory psycho-meets-his-match-in-cute-girl horror flick. The twist, which reveals who the killer "really" is leaves gaping plot holes bigger than the holes left in the victims. Why, why, why do some film makers feel the need to go for those "trick" endings which seldom, if ever, excite the audience? The twist has become such a hackneyed cliche in these horror movies and this is such a poor use of it that I can't recommend this film. It's the feeling of being cheated that you walk away with and not the sense of thrill from the tightly directed and very bloody first 70 mins. I hope if/when a Hollywood remake happens that they leave the killer's identity intact, but based on movies like Secret Window and Identity, they probably wont.
