5/10
Ok but frustrating at times

Warning: Spoilers
This is yet another horror flick where you have the victims making the most unrealistic, dumb decisions that no one in their right mind would make when being terrorized by killers. Stupid woman escapes house where killers are and runs to her car without keys---then has the mindless stupidity to GO BACK INSIDE for them where the killer is lol. WHY?! For one, surely that car is not working if they thought to kill the phone lines inside, and two---when you escape from psycho killers, you keep running AWAY from the attackers---not back towards them! Later on, idiot woman breaks free and runs into the dark woods where there's a mighty good chance of escape under the cover of the night---but what does idiot woman do? She shoots bright flares constantly into the sky alerting killers where she is. It's just so frustrating to watch such idiocy on display. Dad was no better either. He finally reaches kidnapped son but instead of getting the hell out of there with him quickly, he kneels down to have a heart to heart talk with him...what the hell?! And worse...once he gets him safely away from the killers into the now daylight woods---he LEAVES HIS SON to go back for his idiot wife who's STILL fending off these psychos after a full night of cat and mouse with them because she was too dumb to get free. I won't reveal spoilers, but you never, ever leave your kid like the Dad did---at least I couldn't. And to be honest, the wife was too dumb to live anyway so just make a clean getaway with your kid and date a smarter woman afterwards. Oh, then there's the stupid woman cop who had a rock hit her window while she's transporting am apparent victim--and she stops her squad car right smack in the middle of the road to scratch her head in wonderment like an idiot lol. You can guess what fate has in store for this bright bulb next. And the kicker of all is that we never learn WHY these psychos with a penchant for stuffed animal heads are doing all this in the first place. We never even get to see their faces either, but the victims do---so why not the audience?! I see there's a sequel called "Tormented" that i'm going to torment myself to watch next just to see if it gets any better, or if we learn anything of substance about these psycho bunny head killers, but i'm not holding my breath though. To be fair, this WAS good in some parts and it kept me watching until the end so i'll recommend it with 5 stars. Just keep your expectations low with this one and don't expect smart victims to be found anywhere.
