I guess the simplest way for me to put it is that I realize that I don't really sit and pick movies apart like many people do. In the end, I'm able to realizing what I'm watch is a movie. You could pick apart any movie. I loved it, one of my favorite movies now. You didn't. That's probably as deep as it goes.
Yes that's true I guess, but honestly it's not like over-analyzed this one. It's just that I presume if there's a police officer I expect the actor to you know act like a police?
Otherwise you're breaking the suspension and the belief of terror. It doesn't matter if the story is unrealistic, if you can't have the main characters act their roles/professions the movie will start loose it's tension, that's my opinion.

I think in spite of the lack of realism, the acting of the protagonist was superb enough to put this aside (for me anyway). We can find horror films with more realistic screenplays but I think it's the performance that ultimately sells it in the end.
I'm also wondering why realistic behavior is important to you in horror films, since most of them would totally fail in this regard. Most of the great horror writers would be considered very poor writers when we start questioning the behavior of the characters in such situations (though many have a bit more leeway considering that they're often dealing with supernatural elements). I really think far more important is directing, atmosphere, acting that makes a horror film truly horrific. -

Wait so its not possible to be alive after getting shot in the head? Tell that to the woman from Arizona that got shot in the head and is..omg ALIVE..She was even talking at the scene too. So to say its not possible to be alive is ridiculous.

I just finished watching the movie and I thought that it wasn't the police officer but rather the kid who got the scissors to the head. After she did that to him, he removed it and fell to the ground. I don't think he was dead but rather just brain damaged from it which would explain why he acted the way he did after turning the lights on. He most likely assumed she was the the other woman so he instinctively attacked her. Personally, I didn't really enjoy the scene as I thought it was just too far out in terms of realism but I understand why it was there.

Finally, someone who understood what happened. IT WASN'T THE COP, IT WAS THE KID!!!!!! Disoriented after scissors to the head, the last thing on his mind before getting stabbed was turning the electricity on. This is what's on his mind when he comes to. I think turning the lights on gives him a zap of some kind and gets the panda eyes as a result.
NO ZOMBIES.
She's the one that is confused, calling him "officer" once or twice.

Lmao what? Dude watch the scene again, it's the cop. How did you confuse his face, his clothes, his haircut, the fact that he has a police baton on his belt AND the fact that his brain injury isn't centered and isn't a hole like a scissor would do?

Was it the cop or the perp?
I thought it was the perp. After he is impaled, they linger on his face, leading me to believe he would come back.
And it is a plotline to give the villian the upper hand (and maybe they had some blood left over). -

WOW! The cop handcuffed the perp and also gave him a belt with a slot to hold a
nightstick
?
Right
Anyone who believes that must have
A. Only viewed this film
once
and in the chaos of all the unrelenting violent imagery, became horribly confused.
B. Seen the film multiple times but can't grasp what actually happened in that scene because they are either visually impaired or are suffering from a little brain damage themselves.

He attacked Sarah because, in his state of mind, he thought she was La Femme.
As for why it happenedit was probably a deus ex machina to get the film to end with La Femme performing the caesarian section on Sarah. -

I really hate that scene. Until that moment the movie worked as a very good piece of gore with a "realistic" approach thanx to the inclusion of racial riots as a backdrop for the film. But then the "zombie" appears and everything becomes a mess.
Why a "zombie" scene was suddenly included? I have no idea. I just know that it doesn't works. That scene feels taken from a completely different movie. -

its not a ZOMBlE you fool - anyone that is saying that this scene is completely unrealistic is a fool - you know nothing about the human body and what degree of trauma it can handle - best realistic violence movie ever - and ill prove it to those who dont believe
