***this thread include spoilers of low budget Australian film Killing Ground***





In this movie a young newly engaged couple go camping on a beach. They are alone except a seemingly abandoned tent near by. The couple assumes whoever it belongs to will eventually be back soon.

The next day the camp is still unclaimed. The couple look inside the tent and see it had been ransacked and get a bad feeling that something may have happened. They decide to go tell a ranger about the missing campers (they have no cell single out in the wilderness) so they head out to their vehicle only to find a flat tire. While trying to change the flat tire they find a baby wandering by himself in obvious distress. The couple still unable to fix the car comes across a hunter who offers to take them to the police after he checks his traps.

Long story short the hunter is a murderer. The couple try to escape but the woman trying to run with the baby gets caught as the baby begins to cry however her fiancee successfully gets away and hides. The hunter bashes the child and the baby stops moving, the man still continues to hide. The hunter takes his fiancee captive, the man still continues to hide. The hunter says in a loud voice that he plans to rape his fiancee and kill her if he doesn't come out. The man continues to hide.

Eventually the hunter realizes the man is not coming for his fiancee so he has to go find him before the fiancee goes to the police. On their way to the hunters truck the woman notices the baby is gone. She thinks her fiancee rescued the baby and she begins to no longer care about her own life. The baby was just as important.

Long story short again the male fiancee arrives with two police officers. He had stolen one of the hunters keys ( there were two of them -- one died but not relevant to this question) and driven to the police station. When he comes back with the police the hunter has ambushed and snipers out the two constables. The girl has gotten away and hides. The hunter tells her to come out or he will shoot her fiancee who was sitting in the police cruiser. She comes out fearing that her fiancee will be killed if she doesn't. The hunter makes her get into the drivers seat of the cruiser so that all three are in the car. The hunter is injured so he makes the girl drive while he sits in the back. While driving under duress, she looks over to her fiancee and asks about the baby's welfare. The fiancee says "what baby? I didn't take him." At that point the girl realizes that her fiancee left both her and the baby and ran for his own life and she presses the gas and purposely drives into a tree.



If you were in that situation (the girl) and your significant other left you with a deranged killer without even trying to help you, and somehos you still managed to survive would your relationship be over?


My answer : fuck yes.

I'd never end up in that situation. I am not into closeted lesbians.
This could technically happen to anyone -- go camping and wind up coming across a murderer in the woods. That's like a classic American horror story right there.

Also I think the movie was kind of loosely base off Ivan Millet. He kind of preyed on people the same way.

Lucky I'm not American then.

Like your other threads, you seem to be looking for a specific answer that you already have. Just tell us your point. If these threads have no payoff than it is pointless to read them.

I'm looking for any answer. For some reason you
Just want to dilly dally and ask why?

This scenario unnerves a brother
Yes It's intense movie. In that scenario i think even if running for help was the smart thing to do, but knowing you were abandoned in that situation (even if they were running for help) by the person you love it would change things drastically. And if not try to save for her there was also a baby involved and even then he choose to run. People deal with things differently but I don't think you could recover from knowing that person wouldn't do whatever it takes to help you if it meant saving their life over yours.

I think the female character portrayed the actions we expect of people but the male character portrayed what most people would actually do.

The sad part is that toward the end you see the baby wandering around the forest toward the hunter's dog. Just real frickin' sad.
