Ending ruins a good film yet again

Rating: 6/10 (20 April 2010)

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie; great acting, high gory factor, story (although premise had been done to death) great, up until the end; which I'm sorry but how could everyone involved in this film not realize one major thing in their attempt to make a surprising twist ending: the evil goat thing was supposed to get her BEFORE DAWN. Seriously that fact is mentioned I don't know how many times leading up to the ending yet it comes the next day. I mean I hate when endings don't add up with the rest of the movie. This really was going to be one of my favorite horror films, funny moments are always appreciated, but I prefer to laugh at comedy not a ridiculous ending. Not that I don't enjoy horror with evil endings, usually those are the best for me lol. It would just have made much more sense if it came for her the night it was supposed to. Other than that major flaw, I did enjoy it up until it stopped making sense. Lohman is great in everything she does so no surprise there. I really appreciated how her sexiness wasn't exploited at all in the film, no overexposure of cleavage or ditsiness; basically not a campy film. It was also refreshing to see Justin Long in another horror film, much more mature now and he was great too. Scary, shocking, funny, a film that had such great potential but ruined by the ending. Still worth checking out though if you enjoy gore.
