Again... so many WHYs and that OH GIVE ME A BREAK ENDING.. .( huge spoiling of course)


So he's obv of that serial killer who is SO smart and brilliant in his serial killing he wants people to KNOW -- bu thten he has to kill them. ( Poor Michelle)

So to make this happen..

--presumably HE is on the chat to tell then to do a live show from the Pine Barrens.
--How lucky for him one of the people is unstable and will do a fake psychic parlor trick for the date of the killing/show
-- He can kill all those fellows ... and presumably just drop bits of blood on Jim's clothes with him never notcing and have him take them off and leave them on the floor of his house?
-- Also leave NONE of his own blood or footprints.
-- He comes across, as many serial killers do, as sort of milquetoasty--so instead of trying to each fight the wussy little killer guy, L and R just RUN?
-- as his " final" trick folks, he will pretend he has " BEEN SENT" missing footage to make poor Michelle do her forensics on the tape and see that it's HIM so he can talk about how smart he is then kill her.
-- Since she's told presumably authorities and such she's about to have that frame rendered-- aren't they still going to find it all on her computer when someone realizes she's missing?

This has to be one of the most convolutedly HORRIBLE scenarios to conclude what was until then rather enrgrossing. OH and once all this starts to happen, there's handily another camera fellow there and a soundtrack so the Found Footage conceit goes out the window.

What an absolute waste and piece of horse manure. One and Half stars out of 5 because UNTIL the collapse.. it's indeed rather compelling.
