Couldn't agree more.

Dead on! Even if his friend was the killer. Waiting a half a second to VERIFY it wasn't someone trying to help, or a friend, or a kitten, would have worked for me. However, I just took it as his friend was secretly having an affair with the main guys mom, and so in a fit of rage shoots his frends face off and plays it off like he didn't know it was his friend. (That's all subtext of course)

I can't take a killer with no connection to the victim and no real passion to kill seriously I guess.

I can suspend that reality for a little while, but not for a full movie and certainly not long enough to think that these killers are VERY fast movers and can apparently see thru walls, and are highly intelligent. It always makes me laugh to think... where are they when the smaller girl or someone else is doing the terrorizing?
For example, doe the guy stranger say like, "ok, little girl, you go knock on the door, me and this big bich are gonna just sit over here in the bushes" and then later he must be ike, ok, big bitch go in the house, I'm gonna go over here and hide behind the tree..."
How does he know when he should just stand all creepy in the yard? And when the victims see him, and they shut the blinds, or door or whatever, does he high-tail it to a new creepy location, or does he just walk? Does he take his mask off so it's easier to see? C'mon.. I want answers.
You know what I'd like.. I'd like to see that ENTIRE film, from all 3 points of view of the killers. I'd buy that for a dollar!
