Unlikable characters

Rating: 5/10 (6 November 2016)

5 stars might be too harsh, but well, this shows how much I didn't like the characters. I will not talk about the lack of lighting since some reviewers mention it. I didn't like it either. I will focus on characters here, because it is so crucial for a good story. I love movies and this will never change for me, however, I'm getting sick of watching movies full of unlikable characters, especially in horror movies. This movie is also not an exception.
The only person I care about in this movie is Alex. He knows how risky robbery is unlike other selfish kids in the movie. If he screws it up, his father will be in trouble since he has access to all those houses because of spare keys and equipment that his father's security company manages. Other characters are a guy called "Money" who is like a gangster wannabe thug and a girl called Rocky. OK I get it. Everyone has a reason to become a burglar. Rocky has a terrible family background, no hope in her life blah blah Am I supposed to sympathize with her? Because she has an alcoholic/cokehead, promiscuous mother who sponges off her? Because she has an innocent little sister to look after? People have all kinds of problems and backgrounds in reality, but that doesn't justify robbery. This girl wants to take off to California to have a better life. To achieve that dream, she and Money don't even have a second thought about robbing a blind man's house. Do they deserve 300k? I don't think so. They are so selfish that they don't imagine what this blind man's life was or will be. He's lost his eyesight during war and then his daughter due to an unfortunate car accident, and now money on top of that? Give him a break. Oh wait, am I supposed to enjoy watching how this blind man delivers justice to these selfish kids? No no no, I don't expect something like that from this movie.
=====SPOILER===== Even when this blind man tried to make Rocky pregnant (although he is not a rapist), I didn't feel bad for her. Understand your own risk of trespassing someone's house. I felt bad when Rocky kicked him again and again instead. Sure he is a sick twisted man, but you're a burglar after all. She has no right to blame him. Nor does the woman who killed his daughter, in my opinion.
Rocky got what she wanted at the end over his friend's sacrifice. Do you enjoy life with the dirty money? I can't. I would have a nightmare every night. I would go insane. I wish that she paid for what she did. There is no catharsis in this movie, it rather leaves a bad after taste.
