5/10
Why calling that movie «Intelligent»?

No Kidding! the 6.5/10 is almost generous. The Acting? Flawless! The Directing ? Same thing has the other one! In 1997 the impact was there. There was «C'est arrivé près de chez vous» *Man Bite Dogs , In France; Bernie , Then Delicatassen with the same Humour Noir (dark humour) Funny games had. Then we had lot of other good Dark movie with some sick and sad twist. But when I watched that movie, only one thing came through my mind: Why are the characters of that kind of movie always act like the «cute-screaming-blond-horror b» movie type.

The kid gets away: guess what? He doesn't go in the boat or get on the street need the road to get to a neighbor that's alive. Nope, he goes to the dumb not-so-alive one living aside and panic by getting in and not trying to reach a phone when he discover dead bodies.

The Wife get away when the two guys give her a freaking chance. She's smart enough to get through the door by cutting the fence but goes all around without finding someone..ohh she does but she's smart enough to hide herself in case it's the two psycho-boys. second car goes by: the hell with my method: there we go, 20 minutes of long boring smart-talk, killing Wifey and Donkey-wrecked husband.

By 50 minutes, when the two guys goes away, my thought was: Now it's revenge time or something more innovative than the first one. I Thought to myself: What could be cooler and bring the tension to another level: The two guys gets captured by a furious and armed Wifey: (she gets the hiding gun). Bang, capture the two guys and then, there you go a kind of violence-fest on the other way.

Nope, the stupid people always die stupid; if it's not even more stupid
