He spends the rest of the movie being the worst husband ever. But he throws her under the bus and claims she's the one staring at him, when we haven't seen anything to warrant this conclusion. He starts off seeming very supportive, to the point where he suggests going to look at the footage from the grocery store. Then we get a HEAVY dose of one of the most annoying tropes in thrillers and especially in horror: the boyfriend/husband doesn't believe her. I know they are trying to build tension, but you can't do that at the expense of the character's credibility. And even after knowing there is a serial killer on the loose, she repeatedly walks alone down a dark alley. But she decides to go into a poorly lit backroom with no one around. When the first "scary" moment happens in the grocery store, I'm thinking she's perfectly safe here in the open with people around.
(1 viewing, opening Thursday ) SPOILERS Was anyone else annoyed by the extensive amount of dialogue in Romanian without subtitles? I understand they are trying to make us feel as isolated as the character feels, but it's aggravating. We see more annoying tropes and very little payoff in this slog of a movie. Then when it finally does, we get our first dose of many idiotic decisions that make it difficult to care for the character. This movie starts off so slow, taking forever before anything interesting or intriguing happens.
