I realized...It's a movie about plants. stubborn.gif Wtf.

lmao, that was my reaction at first, too. i didn`t happen to enjoy the ending either, but i think what really made me enjoy the movie was how it was completely not really about plants or curses but about escaping. almost like a survival of the fittest thing. at least for me it was. shrug.gif

How about how Amy constantly was f**king shit up. When she snapped that shot and they killed the guy, I yelled out your a dumb bitch. Then when she tried to run down the stairs that one time, my friend and I yelled out: I'm over Amy.

The end was gay, but they have to do a second part, if anything, because of the greeks just ariving.

^ It wasn't basically the snap shot. It just lead to the action.

She moved back and was already standing at the plants (and I guess villagers knew it was some curse or whatever), and she took a snap shot. Leading those 3 guys to look towards her because she stepped on the plants and before, the 3 guys was talking to the guys. Since they were aiming for her due to the touching of the vines, the guy came to her to get the camera and he also stepped onto the vines. As he tries to get closer to the 3 guys believing that the trios wanted the camera, they shot him since he was getting closer and had touched the vines.

I realized that when later, she threw a vine bush at the boy, and the boy was hit by the vine. And the chief shot him, poor kid. So it kind of made sense why the trios shot the guy since he was getting closer to them and had already touched the vines.


I put it in spoiler mode just in case. lol.

^wow, i had to read that twice. laugh.gif BUT NOW I GET IT. that makes sense. at first when she threw the vine at the boy i was like, woah. but the whole camera incident makes sense now.

&& they better make another one.

Another thing that really creeped me out was how those people just stood there the whole time waiting.

sorry to bring this back, but i just rented it and saw it a couple of hours ago.

i didn't think it was all that great, but it definitely creeped me out at some parts-like when stacy was cutting herself to get the vines out. the thing that slightly irritated me was that i personally thought the title of the movie was misleading. but i guess if they titled it "killer plants" or something, that wouldn't work either =)

also, i just didn't fully understand why the natives didn't just kill them all in the first place. obviously, there wouldn't really be a movie, but i think they could have saved themselves some trouble because they knew the tourists were eventually going to die anyway. i went to imdb.com and some people thought that the natives didn't kill them was because they weren't really murderers and that the vines needed "fresh" blood.

but anyways, overall, i was extremely impressed with laura ramsey's performance. i thought she did a great job!

I'm tempted by this movie because I like Jena Malone... but really, I see it as a DVD type thing.

I mean, it looked sequel bound with the French guys going to the ruins. Were they French or German? Ugh, every time I think about Amy, I get so mad.
