So to celebrate my one comrade's birthday today, her and I decided to watch a 'horror movie' (after repeated assurances to her from both my dad and me that it was tame).

   Had I seen the movie, we wouldn't have been watching it, but I'd only read the short story/novella and it seemed pretty tame. You know, standard apocalypse stuff, with a little added fluff of hyper religious nutballs.

  Oh boy was I wrong, the movie left me emotionally scarred, and we ain't even gonna go into how much it fricked up her.

  It also taught me a few things that ima list here

1. I have no faith in humanity
2. I'm even more of a pessimist than I thought I was
3. My friend has no spine
4. Constantly bringing up the fact that your friend couldn't even sit through a movie that wasn't even a horror movie a year ago, will often lead to being clobbered with a pillow
5. I could've wrote that movie, I called every last twist (and they weren't even all in the book)
6. I have now found an old woman character who I identify with (Idk what's wrong with me)

I'm not kidding about the twist though, especially the one at the end. I'll put a good ol spoiler warning for those of the 5 of you who haven't seen it go watch it, it's honestly the best, and unless you're as black hearted as I am you won't call the ending. So yeah...

*SPOILER WARNING FOR THE REST OF THIS*

So this was the conversation that happened between my friend and I during the last few scenes

*At the scene where they run out of gas and they only have 4 bullets*

Me: You know, it wouldn't surprise me if whoever the heck the main dude's called kills em all to save them the pain

Friend: Lucky! How sick are you? There's no way that'll happen, he won't kill them, his son is one of them!

Me: Well then why else would he be unloading the gun like he's gonna play Russian?

Friend: Maybe to check...

*scene where he shoots the others happens and we have to pause because she completely loses her crap*

Friend: *cursing worse than I do*

Me: Now watch the military show up and rescue him just after he's murdered them

Friend: What the hell Lucky! That's twisted, even for you.

Me: *shrugs* It would explain the scene with the bus *presses play button before friend can reply*

(I got overly analytical on the scene with the bus a few minutes earlier)

Friend: I still don...

*The military shows up*

Me: Huh, I was right. Wasn't actually expecting that to happen to be honest

My friend was speechless after that and ended up leaving the room for like the third time in the movie, only coming back to beat me up with a pillow when I did number 4 on the list of things I learned.

That ending though man, that ending. Even though I called it, it still screwed me up. So much better yet worse than the books ending. Whoever made that decision to put that in, good on you, it's just as good as Saw's ending, and that ending I can rant on for almost as long as Thorium.
