...The Rental...oh for the love of God...

Spoiler:

...I am never going to rent a house/cottage anywhere ever again...it really was creepy...and it really was a two part movie with the first part and second part being quite different...it built up two perfect type couples...two brothers with a great brotherly relationship and both in such loving relationships with partners they each adored...but the reality was that their relationships actually were quite fragile and crumbling...and then their rental house was the house from hell...I’m not sure what else to say, I was on the edge of my seat and screamed out loud at one point ...it was creepy and scary but not really gory so I liked it...

Yep sounds good

[ChristmasNeeve]

Uh oh.....won't read the spoiler yet

[Ammi]

...Into the Wild is an amazing soundtrack, Niamh......I’d forgotten how good it was ...it really did tribute the images in the screen, which were pretty vast as well on the journey...


...I won’t spoiler because all I’ll say is that it was such a wonderful re-watch, an incredible story, Niamh/Vanessa and all who may have watched ......

The Rental :

Spoiler:

I thought the first 3/4's were good but the end, even though it was tense was really rushed I thought. I thought the ending was a bit unsatisfying too, I was thinking there must be some significance to who he is or something which was why they hid his face but no just an Air B'n'B serial killer It was OK, not particularly scary although there was a few jumps

Into the Wild :

Spoiler:

Ah I forgot how good this film is, all I could remember about it really was that he died in the bus in the end so that was putting me off rewatching it a bit but I'm glad I did because it's a great story, a real finding yourself and what's important in life type story and discovering that as much evil and dysfunction that there is in the world, there's still real goodness out there. I loved all his relationships with so many different types of people, how he really listened to them and paid attention. The end was very sad when he realises that he really needs and wants people in his life but he can't get to anyone and I had also forgotten this was a real guy too ugh so sad. I wonder if any of the relationships he had on the way were real people too, I must look that up.

And of course the soundtrack was amazing, Eddie

Emile Hirsch was so good on Into the wild.

...The Rental../...ending...

Spoiler:

...I hated the ending, I got so confused and went from thinking...oh, he’s wearing a mask to, oh no, that’s his actual face, then...to, oh it is a mask, he’s taking it off to...what was the point in taking it off if we don’t get to see him...to, so does he watch people only in rental properties or does he watch them and then kill them...just too much left open in the end and I like things wrapped up more..but I did enjoy the movie overall, so creepy.....

Spoiler:

Seemed like he rented places out and then sublet them to watch and murder but not be traced back to him? I wonder was that supposed to be the confusion at the start when Mina confronts Taylor saying he told her the place was booked and it was because he was racist when he saw her name, the killer probably did have it booked and then he booked it on to Charlie?

But then he took his mask off when he was getting the key from the new rental place so the agent will have seen him (unless he killed them too I don't know) was he leaving the dead bodies at the properties and if so wouldn't the Police interview the owner and release that these weren't the people who he dealt with originally and give a description of the guy?

Spoiler:

...yeah, I did get confused in the end...(...although I did like it...)...but I didn’t know if he had been at that place watching rental people for a long time but just watching them in intimate things because he was a voyeur etc...and the only reason why he then moved on at the end was because they had found the cameras, which then resulted in him killing them all and there would have been a pounce investigation into them being missing...so I didn’t know if he then had to find somewhere else...or as you said, did he move on frequently...I mean, it wouldn’t have made it any clearer to me if I’d seen his face but somehow I thought it might become clearer if I did see it...I just wanted to know what he looked like...

[ChristmasNeeve]

Oh I've just watched a video about this film and the ending and I think I completely misunderstood everything, now it makes more sense and I like it more, god I'm an idiot

Spoiler:

...see, that’s also what I said last night...we didn’t see her die, he’s she fallen off the cliff edge, where on Earth did she go....all of the time that he went back to the house and was taking out the cameras etc and removing everything...I kept thinking, would she jump out ...was she still alive...and then I got caught up with the next part and him moving on and whether he was going to take that mask off....ughhh, I’ll get back to watching this now...I can’t believe I let them side track me, I was on the case...

[Ammi]

Spoiler:

...it still left it open though with the same unanswered questions, just that it’s clarified that she (probably) didn’t die...which I thought straight her death was a bit iffy......(...I did enjoy it..)...but I get frustrated with unanswered questions, it drives me crazy...

[Ammi]

....and....

Spoiler:

...as it went along anyway, I thought...well they can all die, they’re fairly grim anyway...it was all pretty screwed..I was a bit torn about Michelle, his partner, though...

Well what I didn't connect (you probably did) was

Spoiler:

That he was watching them to see if they were bad (although that's just this one persons opinion too) and if they'd done the right thing like call the Police when they spotted the camera, or called the Police after taylor was injured then they might all still be alive. Also, I didn't realise that the killer had rented the apartment himself first and then copied the keys and was watching people who'd booked from the owners (D'uh) so wouldn't be connected actually and that taylor (or his brother probably were racist)

Spoiler:

...so (kinda) going back to nets I thought in that he was more a voyeur type person and the cameras were in places of privacy and intimacy etc...but because it happened that he cheated on his one brother with his girlfriend, it completely changed because they escalated it to a completely different thing as well...so obviously then, at the very end...what it showed was...that he’d had to find somewhere else and start all over again with the keys and watching everyone...so he was a watching creep but wouldn’t necessarily kill anyone else...?...unless they did something ‘bad’...?....

[ChristmasNeeve]

bahaha same

[ChristmasNeeve]

Oh cool, I'll check that one out

[ChristmasNeeve]

There's one called Circle(not the Circle, that's a different one) on netflix which looks a bit weird/interesting, Gavin always kills me for choosing these type of films though because 9 times out of 10 they're ****e, but i think it's worth it to find that 1 that's amazing

The trailer doesn't show a lot but this is the synopsis :

Fifty strangers facing execution have to pick one person among them to live.

I've seen it. It's really, really good. Definitely would recommend.

Oh really? Great, thanks Tony

[Ammi]

...The storyline sounds interesting, I’ll watch at the weekend.....

[Ammi]

...I did start watching Spinning Out...btw, Niamh...I watched around 8 episodes and I am finding it a bit addictive but it’s strange because it’s not the type of thing that I would have generally watched...it is a bit slower paced and quite focused on mental health, specifically in gifted athletes ...not just focusing on their own hopes and dreams etc, but the living up to those of families/parents etc as well..anyways, that’s all I’ll say, I’m not sure if you’d like it or not but I’m liking it and liking that it’s something different for me...

[ChristmasNeeve]

I watched a few episodes last night Ammi, it's very good
