Really? And what's exactly amazing about it? What is the fucking point of the whole story? "Here, let us kill this guy (a survivalist for 25 years who didn't trust people he knew but tells strangers with weapons who he is--surely didn't see that golf club coming) so a teen can go murder hundreds of people, seeking revenge, then when she gets to actually avenge the guy, oh no, Jesus!!
