I ask that because I have read two distinct lines of thinking about the climax. One side say it was disappointing, given the buildup of the entire flick. The others say it was perfect, and provided to be the most ample and suitable ending, given the premise and the atmosphere. I am of the latter, and I think the ending fitted the atmosphere of the flick quite perfectly. If it was done in any way otherwise, the flick would have been reduced to yet another run-of-the-mill come-and-go flicks of years gone by. And, lets face it, this ending made it all the more human, and chillingly so.

Like I said before (it's the 3rd or 4th time:D ) it was far better than other recent survival horror flicks like
Wolf Creek, Funny Games or The Strangers with a more harsh & shocking ending which might successfully manage to make some viewers upset in a more disturbing way. The young actor who played the ring leader of the repulsive group of loathsome kids was quite stand out with the role. Though
Jenny..the female lead character also delivered a nice performance but somewhat annoyed me sometimes as her reactions or responses to the certain situations were bit questionable to me.
Overall the tension, the gore and the upsetting finale made it quite distinctive in its particular sub-genre of horror. And I'm fully agree with you regarding the climax as the motion of the story and situations were quite supportive for that actually. Though some viewers liked to be expect something positive but sometimes or very often reality tastes bitter than the fictions and people like to 'solve or confront' many situations & problems in their own way to "save" their love ones.
