I was thinking maybe he'd have another flashback of his mom and couldn't leave her half alive in the road... so they ran over her. In hindsight, probably better to make the audience feel crazed and want blood and he takes the more humane route. But I almost hurt my face I smiled so wide when the door opened and I saw "Airport"

And yeah, I thought they might make it like the girlfriend was hypnotized in order to go along with it but I was actually hoping that wouldn't be the case since it was a harder sell and no need for any of them to be the good guys. (Although in horror cliches, maybe it should have gone that way, then she gives evil look to camera and the sequel is set up.)

Once Chris was in that TV room, I was rooting so hard and terrified they weren't going to have a happier ending. I almost yelled at him when he took the cotton out of his ears.
