First of all, although she didn't, the Lynn character deserved to die. Some guy you don't know who is on house arrest calls you up and asks you to risk your freedom to get him ANTI-PSYCHOTIC drugs and your response is basically "You better be going somewhere with this, Mister." I wish Alex really had killed her.
Speaking of Alex, it's never explained exactly how he broke out of prison. We know there's a fire, and I guess we're supposed to believe he was clever enough to, what, leave some of his DNA on one of the charred bodies? Then there's his death in the end, where, after shooting his already close-to-death, BLIND mother, she manages to make her way through a flood and perfectly place a chain around his neck, even though she's bleeding out and he's like a foot taller than her. Nonsense.
The movie looks good, and Topher Grace does a good job in the role, but it is just too preposterous, even by horror/thriller standards. I was really hoping there was going to be another final twist that made any of this make sense but there isn't. It's just extremely disappointing.
