He cud have easily continued jogging on the main road n outrun the kids or cud have come across a passing car on the road.
I saw this 8th part for the first time recently which is also a remake of the original.
There is absolutely no atmosphere n scare factor is zilch which is very contrary to the original.
This one does have some violence which is a put off cos most of it is towards kids n it has a sex scene in front of a congregation comprising of kids. So double failure.
While the violence towards adults are offscreen.
The lead guy's life is in danger n he does blah blah and that too showing his back to a fella with a hammer.
The lead girl is attacked but rather trying to take a gun which is available n booing away the kids, she acts stupid.
Her boyfriend keeps on wasting time in reading mumbo jumbo stuff in an abandoned church rather than being with his girl.
This installment has a post credit scene but i doubt most will care or endure to reach that point.
