Wow.....this film pushed boundaries, yes it showed things in a brutal way we might be scared of and realities we don't like to think of, but the important factor of the film is, how horrible rape and violence is and how it can overcome anyone, how people can get carried away, how spur of the moment decision's that you may forget after a day or two can effect the cause of your life.
The director does a brilliant job of making the characters as normal as possible, not giving the 'bad guys' a real bad guy edge or 'the heroine' a real heroine feel. He makes everyone appear normal to make the whole damn thing that bit scarier. This works to great effect.
The scariest part of the film for me is the eerie sound of the harmonica as a rape approaches, it keeps you on tenterhooks for sure. Matthew is a gullible guy who just wants friends and in a way wants the best for everyone without saying no to anyone which inervertivly leads him to trouble and rightfully so, it displays that you cant get away doing what others want you to do, it doesn't work for anyone.
The rape obviously changes Jenny and instead of shooting them all like she could do, she leads them all to a false sense of security then killing when they are at their most vulnerable....perfect revenge perhaps? The sort she could not have achieved for ringing the cops or shooting them all quick.
When looking to see what other films the actors/actresses have been in i was surprised to see none of them have done anything, acting as well as direction was perfect in this film as the budget was enough to display real life events not wasting $12 million on a 'jeepers creepers' monster that doesn't delivery half the scare.
Overall I would say a worth see movie due to the fact you can see how horrible it is to be caught up in such situation and spare a thought for victims who didn't survive unlike Jenny.
