Never give a crazy chick a gun.

When a happy couple plans to go away for the weekend, you know that something bad is going to happen.

On day Sara realizes that she can’t go outside. Something is trying to get her if she goes out, whether the front yard or the back.

When Sara’s husband disappears, she’s not sure if he’s really gone, if she’s going crazy (she doesn’t think so), or if some sort of foul play is afoot. The longer the movie goes, the stranger things become. One room of the house is locked. She thinks she sees her husband out back, but when she goes out, the unknown tries to get her. Her bird dies. Every time she tries to bury it, she’s terrified of something. She has no idea how much time has passed. It seems like days, but months have gone by.

Police come and ask her about her husband’s disappearance. They wonder why it’s taken her so long to report it. One thinks she’s guilty. The other gives her a gun because he finds that she’s going to inherit $2 million and thinks she’s being set up to look crazy.

Sara’s sister comes to visit and talks Sara into talking to a psychiatrist. After a few visits, Sara thinks the psychiatrist is in on the plot to make her crazy. She sees her husband go into the locked room. She can’t leave the house. She shoots herself in the head and misses. Then she decides to break into the locked room. After entering, she remembers the car wreck she and her husband were in when he died. She’s sad, but with this news, she believes she’s cured.

She’s not. She still can’t leave the house. She wants to see the psychiatrist’s notes on his computer. He won’t let her. She accuses him of not helping her. She’s angry and wants to leave.

Then she shoots the psychiatrist.

Only to learn from his computer that the car accident left her in a coma, where she’s been for months. Everything that has happened since then is in her head.

After the initial shock, she puts her mental affairs in order and walks outside, into the unknown.

I definitely liked the twist at the end. Not knowing if the chick was crazy or someone was out to get her was a lot of fun. Definitely a must see for suspense fans. Especially if you think you know what will happen.
