* Okay, this has been bothering me since I've seen the movie years ago (spoilers ahead). What was the freaking point of the "monster" chasing Ivy scene almost at the end of the movie? By that time, both Ivy and we, the audience, knew that the monsters stories were a fraud, so what was the point? To me that's one of the biggest failures of the movie, because the scene is well done and it would have been perfectly scary if we still believed in the monster story, so why the director put it AFTER the big revelation and not before? In addition, why was Ivy even scared if she knew the whole truth?
Line 48:
** I don't know how easy/difficult it would be to bribe someone to get a place designated as a no-fly zone, but I think it's earier post-9/11 to get something designated as a no-fly zone legitimately. Disneyland is now a no-fly zone becasue it's supposedly a risk for terrorist attacks, but Legoland is not.
** I thought it was because they'd had the land declared a protected wildlife reserve. There really ''are'' places where planes aren't allowed to fly over, because they're breeding grounds for endangered species which would be disturbed by the noise.
** Why ''exactly'' were they pretending to be "in the past" in the first place? It's not like the children had some kind of intrinsic knowledge of what the 1800s were supposed to be like, to say nothing of later centuries. The whole idea is like a sociological version of [[Meanwhile in
*** For the audience, probably. If it were set in the present, we would have asked "why not use the radio or mobile phones to call in the police" - or even "where are all the tellies". Mobile phones are a huge huge problem for every horror plot!
** They probably thought the airplanes were flying monsters. They believed in walking monsters, why not big flying ones that roar through the sky, and just happen to be shiny?
Line 66:
** Maybe they had a lot of different antivenins, antidotes, and antibiotics for people who might have been hiking in the non-Village part of the reserve, because there are poisonous snakes and berries in the region and they are being kept there specifically so that hikers don't need to go all the way to a city as many as several hours away on the highway in the event of encountering poison, venom, or injury?
