Right from the beginning you know the husband is a creep. The wife furiously chops brussels sprouts whilst he harangues her about her daughter's lack of respect for him, whilst all the while said daughter cries in the shower. Who chops brussels sprouts??? First red flag.
Enter the stranger, who we first meet downing straight whiskies in a nearby bar. Next minute he is knocking on their door, they let him in, and things escalate from there.
Who are the two thugs who show up looking for the husband? Were they just thrown in to add to the "suspense"? We will never know...
Jesse does a good job of eating with a knife and fork, rather politely I thought at first, especially given the circumstances - until he started eating the steak directly from the point of his extremely sharp pocket knife - and who cooked the steak? He never even touched the brussels sprouts, and they were whole and not chopped either.
From there on it was a fairly predictable outcome.
