Why them???

It was a little haphazard from the outset but I thought, Hey, Sam Raimi
was involved, it'll be great.. boy was I ever wrong.The news of the world had said ' ..Prepare your nerves for a sound
beating'.. all my nerves got was frayed from the lack of story line and
no clear reasoning.OK, by the end I understood WHY it was happening but couldn't figure
out why it was happening to the people in the film. Sarah Michelle
Gellar just seemed to be asking for it from the start and as for
building to a chilling finish it just seemed to amble along till out of
no where came a fast paced end, which didn't really sit with the motion
of the story so-far.
