Thoughts;
Again with the “cabin in the woods”. This movie was much
different than the others. First off, she is actually alone, and second, she is
deaf.
The movie starts off a little slower, she is cooking dinner,
but there is silence, which is exactly what she would be hearing, nothing. Her
friend and neighbor texts her and asks if she can come over. You then meet her
friend Sarah. There really are only two/three people in this movie. A fourth is
introduced towards the end. Another thing that separates this movie, there isn’t
a huge cast.
It gets going pretty quickly and as you watch her friend die
outside her door, the killer realizes that she really can’t hear anything. It
must have been a game for him, to stalk her after that since he could have
easily walked away and she wouldn’t have known. Of course, that wouldn’t have
made for this amazing movie.
He starts messing with her by taking pictures of her with her
own cell phone. He sends them to her computer which is genius. She doesn’t see
them until after she video chats with her sister who says; “Who’s there with
you”, talk about creepy.
Maddie’s will to live is very clear in this movie, which is
another thing that makes it so great. Creepy to think that what would really
happen if you couldn’t hear and they could hear you?!
