Critics of the key events should note that the girls did not have an inkling of where they were out in The Bush in the darkness, and were correct in that the killer did pursue them (and at a greater speed than they could get away - how much fuel was in their truck?). His wasn't killed as he lay unconcious because neither of the girls were killers (no matter how much stress they were under) and they figured at that point the guy was at least out of action - escape is the priority, taking a life under any circumstances is a huge decision.

The 'boring bits' between kills is probably better called 'narrative'.

Boing!

:cool:
don't get me wrong - i enjoyed the film and thought it was well done and well-paced. . . but the decision to graze the killer, hit him with a board and then run away seemed insane to me - at least tie him up, break a leg, fling dung at him . . . . something!!

True...But...When it's your life or theirs...The decision becomes much easier...
Granted, but of course by this point the killer was unconcious and the immediate threat to either of the girls' lives was gone (only temporarily, as it turned out).
